Default 21 inch Front Rims

Which Harley model and year had a 21" front wheel wider than 2.15"?


I saw a post of one yesterday but can not find it again! The tire was a 120/70 or 80 - 21".

The 2018 Road Glide CVO comes with a 21x3.5 and stock tire is a 130/60/21
And same with most of the Breakouts. Any touring model we bump up from stock size to a 21x3.5 wheel we use a 120/70/21 tire on.

I know this thread is a few years old but it kinda fits my question. I’m shopping new rubber for my ‘18 CVO RG and my dealer has a 120/70 21 front but the stock tire is a 130/60 21...would there be any issues going with a narrower/taller tire? Will it affect handling, turn-in, anything like that? Any issues with speedo error or ABS sensors?

Thanks...

...not sure about the '18s but I pulled the fender and drilled the mounting holes on each side out and lifted the fender when I put my 120/70-21 on it. You could end up burning the paint on the fender when tire gets hot and expands @ highway speeds.
No handling issues etc... I bought Cobra Chromes.... awesome tires.
