Default Rims.

Looking for some input. I just picked up an 02 road king classic just needs some TLC. I’m thinking new rims and tires. I like the spoke look and im considering a 21” front rim Questions I have is is there any mods I need to do to it or will it fit no problem and also would anyone know how the handling is with a 21” rim on there?
thanks mike

Best to use one of the many "fender relocation brackets" available after market.
Gives extra clearance should your tire pick up a rock,
Friend of mine has a raised "welt" on his fender from this

That said, many folks running without
your call

Eighteight thanks for the input brother I’m thinking I might just go with a 19” rim just to avoid any problems
