21 on 06 electra glide
Ok so I just got a 2006 electra glide and I want to do some customizing on it and I want to put a 21" wheel on the front. Can anybody tell me what degree triple trees I will need to make the bike set level?

No rake needed for 21", but you may want to lower the front end 1-2". I just lowered mine 1" with the Progressive Monotube kit, and I can not even tell a difference in height between now and stock. Meaning 1" was enough for me.

Haven't you people learned anything from this forum? what are you, nuts? Everybody knows if you put a 21 on a touring bike it's gonna completely ruin the handling, it looks stupid, your gas mileage is gonna be cut in half, and you loose 25 horse power immediately. Your wife will leave you... or, if you don't have a wife... you'll end up with one, and then she'll leave you. And also, every time somebody puts a 21 inch wheel on a touring bike, a puppy eats a kitten, and then the puppy dies. Don't be stupid man, it's totally just not worth it.

Pitbull is right on. Did exactly that on my 05 EG STD and handled perfectly.
