Default Anyone running 21" front/16" rear?

I am thinking about&nbsp\\;removing my 18" rear and putting a 16" back on to see if it will eliminate any sway and/or reflex from the swing arm.
&nbsp\\;
Any info appreciated.

I would consider changing the s/a bushings to olifin before blaming the wheel. Mine does it with stock wheels and bushings. On the 21" are they rated strong enough for an 800+ lb bike or does every one just do it for the ghetto look?

What is the "ghetto look"?&nbsp\\; I prefer to call it "custom"

Around here thats what some people refer to it as. It is custom but I think on a large bike it looks disproportionate and a nice 18" would look better. My .02
