Trying out the theory you can run a 21 inch wheel on older Harley Touring bikes without fender risers or do i need to drill? #vicla #roadking #harleydavidson

If you do not drill the rear bolts out to 3/8 inch, it will rub when the tire heats up and expands, and you will blister the paint on your fender

I hadn't thought about the tire expansion. That makes lots of sense. Gonna make the change asap; been down for other maintenance so perfect timing.

The problem happens at highway speeds because the tire expands

Makes total sense. Appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching

Tape a bottle cap flat to the tire and save yourself the what ifs.

That's a good idea, thanks for the recommendation. So as long as the cap off my Corona passes, I should be good to go. Doesn't get simpler then that man. Much appreciated.

Bro you are asking the million dollar question. "Pacific Blue Pearl". I looked at multiple sites (hogworkz, advanblack....) where they do color matching and you tell them what year/ make/ model of your bike and it tells you what color your bike is; but its not right. I forget where i found it but I found one place that said "Pacific Blue Pearl". I went to my local Target and found some cheap nail polish that was Pac Blue Pearl and tested it out. It matched. I want to get my bags color matched so when i go to my local shop, im just going to take them my side panel to match them to. Sorry for the story but it took me forever to figure it out.

Just wondering , why didnt you want the risers?? Is there a clearance issue??
@Mikeityourself4 ай бұрын
I was worried that I could bottom out with them on once I lowered the front. I'm not sure it would but didn't want to take the chance.

Did you drill the fender or the fork mount 3/8 and what keeps it from falling back down over time? Thanks for all your help , im getting ready to tackle this@@Mikeityourself

You drill the fender side. stays in place just with the bolt holding it there. Definitely want to use thread locker.
