18" for retained handling, stance and cool factor. Not to mention alleviating the worry of a possible flat inBFE looking for an oversize tirethat may be hard to find.[&:]

GliderXXX,
My wheels are from Renegade wheels and are called the Dallas, thier website is: http://www.renegadewheels.com/Renega...ade_Cover.html
I'm running a 21 x 3.25 front and a 18 x 4.25 rear with Metzler tires 120 x 21 front and 150 x 18 rear. Renegades website also has an area where you can see the different wheels on your particular bike with the different sizes....and you can print them off to and leave them lying around for a few days to help you decide....that's what I had to do.
Ijust went for a long ride today and paid particular attention to the ride quality. I think the bike actually handles better with this combination over the stock 16's. It seems to be more precise in it's handling and cornering. I always found the 16" wheels to be kind of lazy in handling and cornering. Now it seems to have more of a sport bike feel to it.

Thanks Ice! Pretty well come around to the 21/18 option after these pics and feedback.
Kasper and Kern...which wheels do you have? I'm looking hard at the 8 spokes.

If you are going to do it go 21x18 Chrome you'll never regret it

I'm glad to hear you truly find the handling with the 21" not only acceptable but better. Like so many things, (seats, handle bars, etc.) it's hard to make the call without being able to try it first hand. I do a fair amount of long trips, and certainly didn't want to turn the bike into a show bike or strictly performance oriented one at long haul touring expense.
Thanks for all your feedback..you've been very helpful!

RE: Hogpro Wheel Deals
Right now I'm running stock on the rear and a 21" Fat Daddy up front. The original plan was to paint a white wall on the front, but I decided that I liked the look of the new wheel/tire without the whitewall. I'm planning on putting a matching18" on the back this winter. Only handling difference I notice is at low speeds. The 21" wheel raises the front about an inch. The back of my bike is lowerred as well so it's a little bit of a double whammy. I will lower my front end this winter to help out with this. It's nice to see some wheel and not just rotor.
