21" Front Tire vs 17" Tire - What's the Difference?

[@bigdog3495]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

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!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

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

[@georgemason4731]

What size and make of tire is on the 21 inch wheel?

[@brentvonaschen7064]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

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

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

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]

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

[@heybruh3274]

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

[@kerrylewis2581]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'm working on it! You might be surprised by some of my findings!

[@rippingon2wheels]

Cue I have those!! they make the bike look real great. They installed mine at their both during Sturgis. 45mins tops

[@RidingandWrenching]

I can't wait to get them installed! Unfortunately it won't be until next weekend ☹️

[@petedetects7012]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

I haven't made a tire change video yet. But check out this video from another channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rTqIOXbMRlfsU

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

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!

[@RidingandWrenching]

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

[@kellybgliding]

Que very nice looking wheel my brother. Can’t wait to see them on the RG

[@RidingandWrenching]

You and me both!

[@warrenpatten9681]

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]

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]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@warrenpatten9681 I got both. 21/18

[@cpuuk]

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

[@RidingandWrenching]

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

[@muneeraltawill-rr3wo]

COuld you please tell me the size for 21 tire?

[@RidingandWrenching]

I ordered a wheel tire combo from Coastal Moto 21 front 18 rear coastalmoto.com/

[@carolinarider5237]

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]

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

[@SlappyAdventures]

Good video...... great info..... and that's a awesome looking wheel..... 10-4

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thanks 👍

[@canadiankrispybacon]

Whats the difference 🤔 I'd say about 4"

[@Kenn1969]

You know the numbers on the side wall of the tires tell you height and width.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Dang it! Good point!

[@darkshvein]

No-No-No! 14" Front Tire vs 17" Tire I desire to know!

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@darkshvein I think I had a 16" front tire but I can't remember....maybe it was a 17" and the rear was 16" Correction: front tire was 17", rear was 16". I misspoke in the video I think I said the rear was 15"

[@jessieholt9238]

Your gonna live the rim no difference fo me in the ride or feel of my motorcycle bro

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'm going to install them when I get home next weekend....can't wait!

[@scottyd980]

NICE MUSTANG SHIPMATE.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thank you!

[@vincentyap3188]

why not push both wheel with same effort and see which is faster, i bet the 21 is faster

[@karaokekid7189]

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.

[@RidingandWrenching]

I love the look though!!

[@HudsonMoto]

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!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thanks bro! I'll have it on when I ride up your way in the summer!

[@canadiankrispybacon]

13lbs...at approx 8:1 of unprung weight...+104lbs

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@canadiankrispybacon wow! That's not good

[@canadiankrispybacon]

@@RidingandWrenching well, I guess what you really want at the end of the day…I mean we’re riding baggers, not crotch rockets 😆 So, tippy top performance may not be as an issue….its a lot of weight tho either way….but, the t looks cool…would be interesting to see what the difference would be with the aluminum?

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@canadiankrispybacon in hindsight I wish I had thought about the potential impact to performance....not necessarily speed, but fuel efficiency. I doubt that I will be buying another set of rims in the future. This was a one time shot for me. From here on out. I will stick with stock rims

[@JustGKue]

21 gang! Safe enough to pound the highways and cool enough not to look like a grandpa

[@RidingandWrenching]

😂😂what if you're actually a grampa!

[@JustGKue]

@@RidingandWrenching but yo dont have to LOOK LIKE IT COOL DADDY!

[@masolyoung1712]

Carbon wheels are lighter and ride much better

[@RidingandWrenching]

I can believe that. Live and learn....I'll definitely consider weight the next time I buy rims
