FLA Trio is on a distinguished road
21 x3 1/2 front on a bagger

i am about to order a new set of wheels for my Vivid Black 05 FLHTPI ive decided to go with Pro-one wheels sinister II powder coated black with tribal blades in chrome and chrome hubs
the rear im definatly going to a 18" 3 1/2 rear with a 140 me 880
i was searching around and found that i can go with a 21 x 3 1/2 front wheels with a 120 70 21 me 880 on the front
stock being 130 i guess id be willing to loose 10mm or 1cm width if it doesnt look too far off

my thing is ive seen pics side views of this set up but id really like to see a front on veiw maybe some different angles

if anybody has any pic id love to see them

im still researching the rake and trail of this set up by looking at the pictures it seems the alxe to floor would slightly increase

could i make that up possibly by lowering the front 1"?????

anybody with this change over care to chime in and give me your thoughts

comments are welcome

picturing it in my head and don't think I like the idea of a 21" on a bagger .... but thats me, it's your bike, hope it works out for you.

here is a small pic of one i found

i know that it may not be the taste of all just like when 20" wheels came out i looked at them funny i was running 16" with 38" tire on my f150

now my f350 has 22.5 alcoa wheels with semi tires i personally love the look some of you may think thats silly stupid or what ever

again not everybodys taste but different stroke for different folks
