Default Wheel upgrade

I am riding a 07 road glide with oem wheels and was looking for some input on upgrading to chrome wheels. I am looking at 21 front and 18 rear. Can someone give me some input on how these will ride on the highway at speeds upwards of 90-100mph on long hauls of say 400-600 miles. If this wheel size will not work could you let me know the setup you are using.

labman,

Welcome to the forum from the whole team at WanaRyd Wheels - be sure to introduce yourself in the new members area.

The setup we recommend for your glide is the 21" up front with the 18x4.25 on the rear. Over 90% of the baggers we deal with go with this 21" up front, for this is the biggest front wheel you can put on without doing any major modifications. Check out our tech articles on our site that go more into detail on size and fitment!

Let me know if you have any other questions, shoot me a PM if you are looking for a detailed quote on our WanaRyd wheels or any other brands we carry - I hope you find what you're looking for -Ryd Safe!
