Default Wheels

I bought a set of 2011 RKC laced wheels and WWWs for my 09 EGS.

I cant decide on running those or running the rear and putting a 21 WWW on the front.

I know that I will have to lower the front, but Im putting on chrome fork lowers so it will be apart anyway.

Im concerned about handling, ride quality, and tire longivity. Thats why I wanted the 16 vs the 18 on the rear so that I would have more sidewall height.

I have a 2in lowering kit but I want to change that out for shorter shocks. The kit is working fine but I did notice a harsher ride with it.

My misses has her own bike so we never ride 2up.

Decisions, decisions.

I didn't know a 21" WWW was available.
