I've got this burly slammer kit sitting in a box and staring me down waiting it's turn to be installed. I just got a cold chill thinking that since I just installed an 18" rear wheel that I may run into severe rubbing on the back when 2 up riding......

Any of you guys installed this kit with an 18" rear? If so, any rubbing problems with a passenger? A considerable portion of my riding is solo, but what's her name likes to get on the back every now and then and wear her harley branded merchandise! I know I can max the load on the rear, but not sure if the ride would be too uncomfortable. She's not a heavy broad, just tall and slender.

Any help is appreciated, as I'm bored this weekend, and looking to tinker on the glide.

 

as far as clearance is your new tire and wheel combo "taller" than your old tire and wheel combo?

or same height ?

bigger wheel often has a low profile tire on it

You know..... To be honest, I didn't measure...... I guess I should have thought of that before posing a dumb question...... Breaking out the tape measure now!

 

Mine would scrub a little on big bumps with the wife. about 300 lbs with both of us. I ended up taking it off. It was lowered 1-inch.

 

That's about all I needed to hear...... Looks like it's heading back to the store!
