I’m planning on trading my Limited this fall after returning from my trip to Alaska for a Triglide. On my limited i replaced my front wheel with a 19 inch and like it. Has anyone replaced their front wheel on their Triglide from the 16 inch to the 19 inch from the same size as the Freewheeler? Have noticed that Harley on their site shows this size on the Triglide they have customized. If you have done it did it effect the handling in any way? My dealer says it would be the same as doing it to my limited with no effects. It had no effect on my limited so was looking to do this when purchase the bike this fall.

 

Ther must be a reason why Harley put a 16” front wheel on the TriGlide.

 

With a lower profile tire you'll have to watch the clearance with the fender and any wiring. I just installed an 18" Performance Machine front wheel with Avon trike tire and balance beads on my '13 tri.. Had to shim the brake callipers a bit ...works and looks ok.

 

Like I said put one on my limited and you could say the same for it too, but also harley shows the triglide in their page with the 19 on the triglide. This is why i’m asking cuz the 19 is the same diameter and rev’s per mile as the 16.

 

I’ve heard that with the 18 and but the 19 is no different with clearance or calibers. It’s a direct fit. PM is what i have on my limited and more than likely will go with them on the triglide. Very nice wheels.

 

Replaced the 16 on my 14 with a 19. ODs were very close, but a little difference in width. I did not notice any handling issues. Just recently went with 9 degree trees and the handling is even better. Toying with going 21.....but then again the 2020s are coming.

 

Our trike has an 18" Reaper front wheel, from H-D's accessory line.

 

I have a 2018 Tri-Glide. Over the winter I put Entruder Chrome Wheels on it. The front is the 19" wheel you are talking about. What I have found is: Easier steering, great look, NO ISSUES with fit/form, anything. DO IT if it is what you want.

 

It’’s funny you said something about easier steering. When i put the 19 on my Limited I felt as though it was some what more responsive to the cornering in curves and turns but couldn’t prove that. The only thing that feel would have changed was the fact that the sidewall was less would more than likely cause it to ride little harder but this could be the reason for quicker response in steering too.

 

They also put 16 inch wheels Softails for many years, but they also put 21" wheels on Softails , during the same years....

Sorry OP, I can`t answer you question either....
