Feel like it's been long enough somebody should've made a 130 70 21 tire. Or a 130 60 21? Is it out there and I just don't see it??? Profile is too damn high on the 140 and tire is too damn thin on the 120. Saw somewhere that Avon makes one but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have any information?

 

35 views and no opinions?
Are people just sticking with stock wheel/tires?
Are people doing the 19/18 Agitator?
Are there people with 21's that actually put miles on their bikes??? Most threads I see on 21's either they hate the ride or it is a garage queen that heads out to bike night once in a while. I have seen SOME say they feel handling is improved, but very few. Plus, I've looked at load ratings and the 120 is pretty bad. The 140 is incredible but that is a hell of alotta tire diameter, thus loosing suspension travel. Unless rear can be raised thus raising the hole bike? Has anyone tried putting a larger diameter on the back? Is there room?

 

I think the closest you will get is 120/70/21

 

We have mentioned to both Avon and Metzler that a 130/60-21 would sell like hotcakes but they don't seem too responsive to our suggestion. Most of our customers like the 120/70-21 so until the tire companies step up that is the best option.

 

much the same way that NO ONE other then H.D. makes a 19 x 3.5" front wheel.... Harley can't keep the Agitators in stock...but the rest of the market doesn't seem to notice...... anyone?? anyone?

 

Got 30K on my 21 front. Ride and handling are good to me. Load rating is not far off of the 130/70 18 that is stock on the 10-up SG's. Only complaint I have is the darn things wear out about evey 10K.

 

You hit it on the head!!! Anyone?? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
There are a lot of touring bikes out there. Enough to keep...what...5 companies in business selling chrome wheels? You'd think they would figure out that Harley is hitting a home run with these 19X3.5's! Not only that, you'd think tire companies would pick up on the tire size. Even if it is only Dunlop, since Dunlop makes the Harley tire. Wouldn't Dunlop want to make an American Elite version?

Then there is the 130 width 21" According to Hogpro it should be a 60 series and they have specifically requested it. How many more people would go with a 21" if there was a tire that was closer to stock in terms of feel and abilities?

Seems like 4 years into the new frame we'd see product in the market place. Especially since 21's have been being put on longer than that.

I just bent a rim and can't really wait any longer. I need to make some decision. Stock, wait for Agitators, or a 21 with a limiting tire.

 

What's wrong with the 130/60B21 63H that comes on the H-D Breakout? It's a Harley tire so you're going to pay thru the nose for it or you might find someone on Ebay that has bought a 23" for their Breakout and has one to sell.

 

Nothing wrong with it at all Paul. It didn't exist when I started this thread. When I pull the trigger on a 21 I will put Harley's Breakout tire on. Unless of course the tire companies come out with something better and/or better priced.

 

Avon has been making a 130 x 70 21 for years now now they come out with a 130 60 21 supposed to be lower profile. Whatever you do don't ever put a 120 x 70 21 on.the front of a dresser
As. Far as the ride to each their own and I've always lower the front of my bike because a 21 puts it you know something like 2 to 3 inches over stock height don't quote me on that though but you can be sure it's taller than stock because your headlights are blinding everybody shooting up at the sky so I drop mine at least 1 inch in the front but usually two inches cause I like the slammed Look along with a 1 inch drop below street glide stock level in the rear. Happy trails ..
