Question Bagger Advice Needed
I've got an 2003 electra glide with stock 16" wheels, can I run a 21 on the front and keep the rear 16 with no problems such as trail and whatnot? I have been considering an 18" front fat spoke also just can't find any pics to see what it looks like so if you have a pic of the 18 front 16 rear setup I'd love to see it, ( I know there are probably a lot of threads relating to this I just needed a quick answer and didn't wanna barge in on someone else's convo.)

I can not speak directly about your bike, but I had to lower my front end 1" to keep my bike handling like it did before.

Do you have a 16 on the rear?
