looking for wheels combo for SG
i know its been beat to death but i am fixing to get my bike back from the paint shop and i need new wheels the factory SGs are not pretty to me and i wondered what is the pros and cons of each wheel combo??? for time and money sake the rear will probably go unchanged but i was looking for pics and info.
18" 21" brake setups good vs bad
is the tire still fat on a 21'?
riding issues?
do i have to go single sided on 21"
where to buy?
lemme see those pics guys!!!
thanks

Take a look at this site - http://www.performancemachine.com/thankyou.html
They have a lot of good looking rims / and you can see them on your bike if you to the V-Twin section and then choose the rim - Click "See what they look like on your bike"
If nothing else it will give you 20 options to try. RC Components is another and Foose if you have the coin.
Then, consider the 360 braking system so you don't hide the rim with that $100.00 friggen rotor after you've dropped 2 grand on a rim!

Oh, BTW - Go 18"
I did the 21" and didn't like the feel. My personal opinion
You can go 6 piston caliper on either the 18 or 21 and reduce the extra rotor - You will have to have a new leg machined, and re-chromed.

18 or 21 work and look good. If you lower the front end of your bike, and get the 3.5" 21' wheel, you should be very happy. I would imagine that 18"s ride extremely well also...maybe better, but I'll say that my 21/18 setup handles and rides very nice!
