I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a new set as well. My only concern is when I'm travelling I've heard guys having problems locating the taller tires if there is a problem.

For me, a 21 fits best in front. Go ahead and bite the bullet, you will not be sorry!!!!

Check my sig, the picture of my 21 on me S/G is in there (blue fender bike). I also put a 21 on my softail and my wife's softail. (I didn't give her the choice )

Bike looks great. Did you do a measurement comparison (height) between the 16’s & 18’s?

If it’s the same, I’m gonna do it as I live close to HogPro in Smell-A [X(]

I like the 18's just as much as the 21's

i like the 21" up front and a 16" out back. i used to run a 18" out back but the tire looks too skinny and you don't get as much cushion on the road so i switched to a 16 out back.
