[@joshua-xn7wt]

So, one question, is a moto brake system like a regular vehicle system? Do you need to take any caps off to allow pressure reduction when trying to compress calipers before reinstalling calipers onto the bike?

[@sikbaggers]

its virtually the same thing but its quite a bit smaller so thats how you can usually get away with not taking the caps off to push the cylinders back in...the system isnt under as much pressure as a car. That being said the HD Service manual says take it off....do most of us that do this every week take it off? Not usually.

I dont know if you changed the rotors or not but you can try seating them...just ride about 5 mph and hit the breaks, of course not hard enough to wreck lol but you get the idea....slow down really quickly using on the front brakes..do this a few times to seat the pads to the rotor...could be bad bearings too...just because they are new dont mean they are good..seen it happen.

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.

I just bought DNA wheels for my 2020 Deluxe and I’m having issues with the wheels not fitting. The front wheel is about 3/16” of an inch too wide in the hub area. The rear wheel not on the bike yet because of the front issues. I’m checking out the rear wheel situation and from the outside of the new pulley to the outside of the new rotor I’m off by 1/4” new one being narrower by the 1/4”.

so watch my updated video that came out right after this one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/paPOk6iensZsoas I had nothing but issues from DNA wheels and sent that back wheel back to DNA 3 times and it was never really right...close but not right...so I went with sinister wheels fat spokers and never looked back. DNA is a budget wheel and I get a lot of comments saying the same thing you did and also what I experienced. It seems its luck of the draw if you get a decent wheel or not...spend the extra little bit of money and get a quality wheel from Sinister. In the meantime call DNA and tell them their wheels are off and send that crap back

Hey Steve great video. I'm also thinking of changing out my stock wheels on my 2017 Softail Deluxe FLSTN.

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

[@sikbaggers]

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.

I followed every step and why is my rear tire seized?

[@sikbaggers]

no idea bro...give DNA a call and make sure they sent you the right stuff for your bike

I could install a 21inch front wheel on my softail without the fender risers. Just a fyi

[@mobkinq]

Can I install these on a Dyna FatBob 2011?

[@sikbaggers]

They make spoke wheels for the dyna...just give them a call!

[@silverback4616]

21 wheel in front....what was the back???

[@brentgrubbs8146]

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.

[@sikbaggers]

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.

[@johnkisch2654]

Sold me, the order is in for a set of Mammoth spokes and whitwalls. Just need to figure out the spacers.

[@sikbaggers]

I just ordered chrome spacers from HD...with ABS like on this bike its really only one spacer...as your abs sensor is the other spacer thats why they provide a chrome cap for that.

[@johnkisch2654]

@@sikbaggers Tried Harley, they don't know what size I needed, spoke to DNA, they can't tell me what size I need. as they don't sell spacers, was hoping to not have to reengineer something which should be so basic? 2008 Heritage, and guess on wheel spacer sizes?

[@GrumpyWIBiker]

I heard the quality of DNA twisted spokes are less than average. Can someone prove or disprove this for me???

Dam!!! It is great watching videos where you don't need gravol!!! Nice clean, fast and to the point info!!! Not to mention someone who knows what they are doing instead of some idiot not unlike myself who is also trying to "figure it out". : ) Thanks for uploading!!!! : )

Another great video. Gonna look great when it's done. Just curious about that flannel though? Where'd you get that from?

Thanks man...yeah its getting there...have some front end work coming up next! The flannels are Dixxons. I have about 20 of them lol...once you get one you just keep buying more..I love them.

Hey I have a 2015 heritage do you have to raise the front fender for the 21 inch tire ? Thanks

[@sikbaggers]

Had a few guys said they didnt raise it but I did....got a new cholo fender on it now so I already removed all that but it seemed there was platny of room in there to not raise it.

What tires did you go with?

[@Chevy243]

I have a question so if I buy from DNA website do they balance it for me so when I get it it’s ready to just install?

[@sikbaggers]

yes..if you buy it with the tire on it it will come ready to install..including balanced.

[@Chevy243]

@@sikbaggers one more question 🙋‍♂️ are those Shinko tires? On dna website u can only get the shinko sr777 I’m looking to get rim for the rear of 2010 street glide so would you recommend just getting the shinko tire with rim as well?

[@brandoallende5400]

Do you have a part # for the front spacers? I tried calling several Harley parts departments in my general area and none of them have been able to help me. Thank you in advance

[@sikbaggers]

These are the ones my HD ordered.....its a spacer and a cover for the ABS spacer www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/Domed-Front-Wheel-Spacer-Kit/p/43300010 be sure to check under fitment to see if it fits your bike.

[@captaj2845]

Do you have to lower the front or did the tire size make the bike sit level

[@sikbaggers]

no, its not going to sit level...but no no one really lowers the front either....its not going to throw the geometry off on the bike that much, its barely noticeable and lets face it ...these style builds...we arent riding them through corners like were Valentino Rossi either

[@ovrlnder]

How do you like those tires? I'm in need of tires and those are the only ones available.

[@sikbaggers]

Havent got any miles on these but I have the same brand on my RG and they arre great
