Just ain't my thing, nor are the 26's.
Don't care for low/slammed look.
A little too trendy for me.
JMO as you say.
Nice lookin' ride too BTW.

I"m not a fan of the pimp wheel fad. With me, form follows function. That big, thick, stable front tire is a big part of the reason I ride an Electra Glide. But that's me. If you like it, put it on there! What I think about your bike doesn't matter.

We have a machine shop that makes these for us. Many of our older designs (on the classic page) are made for us by PM. We do not make them in house but have a machine shop whom we have worked with for many years do the machining.

Sounds like an old HD rider when HDs came on 16s and 18s were evil, then the HDs came with 18's and 19's were evil.... now the CVO is on a 19" and 21" is evil. I find it so funny.... what is everyone going to do when HD does a touring bike with a 21" wheel? LOL

Lot of experience, I take it?
What bike did say you ride, didn't catch that?
"everyone" will probably get 26's so that they can be still be trendy would be my guess.
I had a 21 on my fxstc and after putting the 16 on, the 16 handled better over all.
At slow maneuvers the 21 was easier,(less rubber/friction to engage but after that the 16 felt more stable.
Again that is JMO.
