19"wheel...still mulling it over
So this winter i am most likely gonna upgrade my wheels... i had been thinking about doing a 19" (21 just sin't for me) in the front for a few months.. then MOCO puts one on the front of the 2011 CVO SG..and they offer it in the accessorie catalog. Good news is it is a 19" x 3.5"..also good news Dunlop is making a 130 /19" front tire for the wheel..... bad new is the only wheel to match the rear is an 18"..which i don't want. No offense to those with 18s i just think it makes the rear of the bike look higher...and also to me more meat on the rear tire means more cusion under my azz... i'm thinking about keeping the stock 16" rear size..maybe going with a 17"
I have reached out to a few wheel companies and NONE of them will offer a 19 x 3.5"..they all offer 19 x 3"....they say that the FEW that have put it on Baggers usually run a Metzler 120/19" tire (BY my math that would be about 1/2 in narrower then stock)...and most have said that the 130 Dunlop tire probably wouldnt be a good idea on the 3" wheel..
So questions are to those who have or have seen a 19" on a Bagger with a 120 front tire... How do you like it?
If anyone else has ANY info on this subject i'd love to hear it.
Thanks boys...be well...ride safe
