wider white wall tire
David from Metal Sport Wheels said he is getting a shipment of 18" white wall tires for baggers. the sizes he will be getting is 130 60 18", 150 60 18", 180 50 18" for the rear and also 120 70 21" for the front. the tire is made by V Rubber. don't know who they are but i am excited about it.

thanks guys! i believe the tire is a mh90/21? i believe it is the only 21 inch whitewall you can get. the bike is nasty it needs a good polishing up.i ust couldnt wait to get some pics of it so i could see it. i havent rode it yet , they're calling for freezing rain and sleet for this weekend so maybe in a week or so it will be warm again so i can go for a ride and check it out. as of now i dont know if im gonna need to lower the front or not. it looks pretty level to me. the rear hasnt been lowered either so i think that i might not need too...

I havent had ANY luck finding a "fat" 21'' white wall tire either. I love the look of a 21'' spoke but think that the 90 size tire on the narrow wheel looks out of place on a bike so big (my 2cents).
I def. think you should lower the bike to get it on the ground. Nothing looks better with a bigger front wheel then a lower stance..
