Any brake pad, organic or otherwise will eventually eat into the rotors if you ride the bike. You have two choices, sintered, aggressive, will stop you, last longer and does not cause brake dust but harder on rotors ....organic, softer, easier on rotors, doesn't stop you as well, dont last as long, leaves plenty of brake dust on your spokes for you to clean and will eventually scuff up your rotors just as bad as sintered. You have options. You just have to weigh them for yourself.

Also how wide can i go with an aftermarket tire? Thank you!

Hey Paul...thanks man...you will see here real son in a future video I went with another set of wheels and went back tot he 16. While there is plenty of room for the 18, the softail have a weird offset and it comes pretty close to the fender and while im positive it wont ever hit, I dont like it. I would just stick with the 16 rear and change the front to a 21. No need to change anything else that small of amount of change will not effect the way the bike handles..so no need to drop the front end after adding a 21.

Hey man I’m following your video for installing my 21 inch front wheel. What do I do about the wheel spacers I think the ones you posted thru Harley are discontinued and I can’t find any on the internet. I’m at a standstill please help much appreciated!

yeah they quit making or selling them last year..and I have no idea why..but get up with Willy Shiny, he makes his own and they are very nice. Give him a call and tell him Steve sent you from SIK baggers...here is his link willyshiny.com/

I love what this channel does and gives me all sorts of confidence to do my road king. Love the rims but my only questions is will that 21 ride differently from the stock, considering changing mine.
@sikbaggers2 жыл бұрын
Firstly thank you for the kind words...much appreciated and glad they are helping...Anytime you change a wheel size it will effect the way something rides..now that being said going to a 21 is a very minimal change...just enough you will notice but not enough that you cannot ride anymore. We go from 19's to 26's on a lot of the bagger models and its still very ridable...the first time you ride it, its slightly noticeable because its a change..but the second time you ride it itll feel like its always been there.

Great video brother. Does that bigger front make the bike handle different, especially when cornering?
@sikbaggers Жыл бұрын
Going from a 18 to 21 or 19 to 21 will change it slightly. The first time you ride it you will notice a small superficial push in the corners and I mean barely..after the first time you ride it you wont even notice it anymore.

If you had the time and a desire to do so, there are a lot of folks that would gladly pay for a Patreon channel. In my region, there is a lack of shops available to do work on Harleys, so many of us are forced to become our own mechanics. Not a big deal, but it's nice to have a library of instructional videos.
@sikbaggers9 ай бұрын
Hey Brent...thanks you for chcking out the videos. I started my channel about 6 years ago out of frustration of some KZbinrs only uploading parts of videos and then asking you to pay to see the rest. I understand that youtube is their full income so I'm not mad at them about that but I have always strived to keep my videos free for everyoneand show every step of the way from start to finish. I try to keep the videos in playlists such as "road glide, street glde, softail, etc" so they are more readily available without searching through tons of videos. If you ever have a request for a specific video please let me know and ill do my best to get it covered for you. Suggestions are always welcome here.
