So I've recently installed the CVO fender kit and performace machine paramounts (21/17) on my 2012 road king. I've posted some pics. Let me know what you guys think. I haven't been here in a while. When I had my sporty I lurked over there. Also have some questions. I put a 200/55-17 tire on the rear. I have about 3/16 clearance between belt and tire and about 1/4 between lip of tire and fender. My road king has the stock 13 inch rear shocks and I would like to put the HD premium shocks on in 12in. Just wondering if any street glide guys have a similar setup and if it will rub. Also a little poll, when I lower the front back down, should I powder the lower legs?
Thanks!

 

love those wheels.... good choice!

And I personally like the uppers black/lower chrome look. I am doing a big contrast cut theme on my bike and thats what I will be doing. SInce you have the contrast wheels... keep the forks with that contrast look too!!!

 

What brand tires are you running? I love the paramounts, they are one of my favorites from PM.

 

I'm running Metzlers. 200/55-17 in the rear and 120/70-21 in the front. In hind sight I probably shoulda went with a 200/50-17 in the rear but I ride 2 up a lot. Now I'm just a little worries about the 12 inch shocks vs the stock 13s. I think I'll be fine. Street glides and road glides come with 12s stock and I've read about people running 55s with no problem. The 3/16in between the belt and tire lip is a little fishy tho....

 

You should not have an issue with rubbing with that tire. The Michelin Commander II in that size caused a few issues but I have not seen one with a Metzeler regardless of whether it is the 50 or 55.

 

Nice looking scoot!

 

Thanks!!! I still have a lot to do!! Next on the agenda is suspension. That 21 really raised it up. It's really noticeable on the kickstand. It's a bear to lean over and pick up now. Probably gonna do -1 monotubes, HD premium 12 inch rear shocks and a gloss black powder coated wrap around fender. I had everything else powdered already.

 

Thanks!! I hope so!! Right now I have maybe a 1/4in between the lip of the tire and the inside of the fender. I have all kinda if room in the right side tho!! Anyway, I'm worried about two up riding and the lip rubbing the curvature of the inside fender. I guess we'll find out! BTW the rear wheel is a 17x6 not 6.25 do the tire doesn't "stretch" as much

 

Real nice. Now you need a front wrap fender.

 

Very nice balance on the black and chrome with your bike. A+ job!

Now I would like to know which apes and size did use?
