Looking for some comment or verification on a plan.
I have an 06 Road glide. The plan is to use a 21x 3.5 or 3.25 front and an 18x4.25 rear. I'd like to run metzeler 880 150/70/18 rear and 120/90/21 on the front. I have a progressive mono tube for the front and was going to lower it 2 inches. I am waiting for the progressive 944s to come out for the rear. They should be the same lenght as the 940s which is an inch shorter than stock.
First, will this all fit with no mods? Second will my lower frame be level front to rear? Thanks for all inputs.
Tire should fit, but you may have to use a small spacer to move the pulley out slightly, I take it that you have an 06. Usually you should not lower the front any more than the amount the rear is lowered, if you have a SG you can probably get by with lowering the front 2", since the wheel raises the front about 1". If you have 13" rear shocks on your RG I would say you should only go 1".
