Question 21" Wheel Installation Advice

Hi,

If this subject has been covered already then I appologise. What I need to know is, I want to Install an new set of contast cut P.M. wheels to my 2014 CVO Road King. I have been told there is an issue with doing this because of the linked ABS braking system.

Can any one advise on the correct size rear wheel option to go for if I install the 21" wheel? Would like to also go up to a 200 size rear tire. And Information regarding the linked brakes. i.e will it be OK?.

Thanks.

I dont know for sure about 2014 but all previous years you buy the wheel with the ABS option. I wouldnt think 2014 would be any different.

The 2014 has "linked" brakes...
If you pull the front lever or press the rear peddal by themselves...both brakes will activate.

How will this be affected by new wheels? I am curious to find out the answer as well.
