Default 21" black spoke on my old school Road King Classic
Well thanks to Vee Rubber and the back order on the tire I had to wait for my 21" wheel. I had it installed today just in time for the show at Harley tomorrow.

It is powder coated flat black just like the rear.

We have a stack of the Vee Rubbers ready to ship! 120/21 WWW. Post some pics of your bike, it sounds really nice.

The wheel looks great but that is one fine looking bike. Great job on everything.

I have read that a 21" wheel is not a straight bolt on proposition. I don't know why it wouldn't be if the overall diameter is the same. Did you have to make any changes to the fork or triple tree to use the 21?

Nope... Just a bolt up application.
