They look great brother! Can’t wait to see them on the motorcycle!👍🏾

That makes 2 of us! I'm traveling and won't have time to install them until next weekend!

Can’t wait for your riding review. I plan on putting a 21 on my CVO Streetglide this winter

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

I bought these for my Road Glide, it they could end up on the Street Glide....i think they'd look sweet on the SG too!

That's a sharp looking set of rims. Hale to the 90* valve stems. What a royal PITA to add air to my rear rim. Looking forward to your testing on the new rims.

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

Thanks Eric! Hopefully they don't screw up the ride quality of my bike.....otherwise I'll be spending money on a new suspension!

That's gonna look great! That is nice it came with the 90 degree valve stem. Can't wait to see it on Ida Lee!

It's worth it just for the valve stem! I was planning to get those with my next tire change anyway

Online, there are plenty of tire/wheel size calculators that provide very specific data. A person can then make the best decision for their needs and requirements

Going to be a great look, I really want to see your review on the keyhole maneuver , I struggled in practice (session 59) with my 21’s on a 06 Street Glide. I’ve conquered everything but the keyhole, I believe you can do it. Warren

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

I appreciate your confidence in me! I've been thinking abt it and I don't think the bigger wheels will make a difference because the wheel base is still the same because the forks aren't changing....but it's just my theory right now! We will see hopefully this weekend

@warrenpatten9681 Жыл бұрын

I take it front wheels only ? I increased front and back for balance .

The wheel and tire get a 10 for appearance. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on handling and ride.

Interested in the change of rake/trail from stock without changing the trees

@RidingandWrenching 9 ай бұрын

21" don't require any changes to the rake of the forks. The only modification was raising the fender

@carolinarider5237 Жыл бұрын

Wow. That 21 looks like a Giant next to that 17 😁 trying to decide on a 19 or a 21 so I'll wiat on your reviews on it 👍 I also heard that if you go 21 you have to change the front suspension

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

I'm thinking the same thing about the suspension if I don't like the way my bike rides. My other option is to put the 21" wheels on my Street Glide since I don't use it for long distance riding

@petedetects7012 10 ай бұрын

Did you make a video installing the tires .my tires are bad on my rg ultra . I am good with the wrench, but never ha e I changed tires on a motorcycle. Also, I'm not replacing my stock rims .I would like the best tire available. If you have that info, please send it my way . Pete from Fresno

I haven't made a tire change video yet. But check out this video from another channel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6-gqrOSnMWWeJc.html

You gonna have the space inside the fender for another inch of height?

@RidingandWrenching Жыл бұрын

It fits fine. I think 21" is the largest you can do without changing the rake of the forks and the front fender

Nice that 21 in wheel looks sick! I can’t wait to see it on the Road Glide aka the Only Glide you need haha jk!

I went from a 19 to a 21 and the 21 looks a lot better. But, the performance is lost on the 21. You will see that the maneuverability is lost with the 21.
