I was wondering what gives on your 21 front tire? I was told it would rub and I should go with a 19? My 06 Roadglide is lowered front and rear and right now is rolling on stock rubber. I am looking at Hogpros wheels and hope you could give me some insight before I blow some serious money. Thnks

I was wondering what the deal was with the 21 rubbing? I have a 06 Roadglide which is lowered front and rear and am wanting to get a set of wheels. The guys at HogPro said a 19 inch front but I prefer the wat your bikes look with the bigger wheel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Did not lower my front end. Hog Pro know what there doing and will not have to modify your fender by putting on a 21.

Is that a stock front fender? I just welded some native custom brackets on my front fender to make it hug the front wheel/tire a little more that the stock fender does. I lowered the front of mine 2".

That sucks! I've got a set of tins in primer waiting to be wet sanded right now. I'm borrowing the painted nacelle look from you GMoney ...

you lower it so they don't look like a damn tricycle, that 21 pops the front way up there.
I lowered mine 1". I was soooo worried it would look like a damn tricycle if I didn't lower it.
