21" wheel on a super glide
hi there, this is my first post since joining this forum,so please bear with me. I have a '05 super glide my self and have recently done this upgrade. and boy am i impressed. let me tell just what all i've done to the front end and all have been a plus. i first changed the fork oil to 15w bel rey...a big difference from the stock fork oil (it seemed more like cheep ATF). next i bought a set of "works perf" duel rate front springs, they are a lot better than the factory springs...less mush, more control. then i decided to get a 21" laced front wheel,this became a chore, i bought a take-off on e-bay that was off an 05 sportster...the only thing was the wheel brngs' where too small so a trip to harley and $70 later i changed them...axle size is larger on the narrow glide.and then i bought a 90/90 metzeler tire and installed the package on the bike. everything seemed to fit ok, this tire fits under the stock fender, and the caliper has plenty of clearance. well let me tell you this was the icing on the cake!!! it handles so muce better you won't believe it. and it looks very cool too!!! if any other questions please e-mail or post a reply, thanks amos...a new harley guy!!!
