Default Street glide wheels
Anyone have an option for not replacing the rear wheel on a street glide when installing a 21" chrome wheel on the front. I hate to pay 1500.00 for a rear wheel that you can't see. I was told they have a chrome cover for the stock wheel but I can't find it. Any suggestions????

I agree... My buddy did the 21in conversion and kept his stock rear wheel, sent it out to be chromed (have not heard of a chrome cover for the rear wheel)

The 1,000 threads on this topic are a good place to start.

Chrome exchange the rear wheel. Swap the tire, rotor, and pulley. Mine looks good.

I thought I could handle the same, but I knew the rear didn't match and it bugged me, soci dropped the cash and just did it. I'm glad I did.
