 Man for that kind of $$ I would do my suspension and lifters first!!! Much better bang for your buck.

Are the 21 rims made by Ridewright 7 Sins or are they from a different manufacturer? Any pictures of a 21 mounted on a bagger with the stock fender?

I was wondering the same thing.  After joining this site just now (Hi everyone!  ) I was able to see some more pics.  It looks like it is not the 7 Sins.  The 7 Sins and Agitator have spokes that seem to stay the same thickness from axle to tire.  While this wheel seems to get a bit wider as it goes out to the tire.  This wheel and the 7 Sins do seem to be the same as the spoke meets the outer rim by the tire.  This and the 7 Sins both seem to indent into the rim while the Agitator spokes seem to bump out a bit.  Guess a wheel company can only get so close b4 Harley sues.  Sure wish Harley would make the 21" Agitator as I think it would cost a lot less.  Seems so strange to say as much as we bitch about everything Harley always costing so much but their wheels really do seem to cost less.

Nothing good is ever cheap.

We spend 35k +++ and we are bitching about another 2-3k

Really??

[Dew Me]

I doubt any of us got to where we are by throwing our money away.
Everybody loves a good deal and to save a buck.

Most of us pay a lot of attention to the details as well and want everything perfect.  Neither this or the 7 Sins is an exact match to the rear Agitator.  So you buy a rear wheel and do it right, and you just doubled that 2-3K number you threw out.

What is wrong with wishing that Harley made the Agitator in a 21?  If Harley made a 21 it would match perfectly and save thousands.  If you wouldn't like to keep thousands in your pocket you can give me some.  Happy to help. 

If the Harley wheel is "CHEAP" compared to aftermarket wheels does that mean it is not good?  Your words...

Cast vs. forged, there is part of your cost. Custom cut wheel as opposed to off the shelf is some more of the cost.

A 21" HD wheel could be an economical choice if they ever decide to make one, but currently they aren't.

With that said I've been selling 23" wheels over 21" wheels at a ratio of four to one.

The company cutting this wheel won't cut you a rear wheel, I've already inquired. They will only cut non HD sizes. This wheel was cut to be as close as possible without getting into a 3D blank which would cost way more than it is worth. The HD wheel is cast thus the 3D spokes.

Thank you so much for the excellent and concise response.  Cast Vrs. Forged, custom, reason for it not being a 3D cut, and that this company will only make non-HD sizes.  Possibly most interesting is that you are selling 23's 4 times as much.  I can't wrap my head around the idea of putting a 23 on my ride.

I agree a 23" is not for everyone just as the even larger sizes aren't. For me the 23" with Pickard trees was the look I was after.

I feel like a drug dealer as the guys stop by the shop and check my 23" out, take it for a spin than come back and order their own. I give them a taste then they are hooked! LOL

Don't get me wrong.  The 23's are beautiful.    Looks-wise I'd definitely rather a 23" than a 21".  If all I did was ride around town or a few towns away I'd probably get a 23".  I want to maintain full touring ability though.  I need to be able to load her down, put the old lady on the back and go for a 12 hour ride.  Like you said, 23's aren't for everyone.

[Puzzled]

I've never looked at the load rating on a 23", maybe I should.  Outside of that I haven't found any limitations.

I like the way the bike rides with the TP and a BSR. I can scare the bejesus out of the BSR going through the corners. A few sparks at night from the boards gets me a kidney shot....

talked to guy at ride wright booth today at Corbns in hollister. He told me they not offer a chromed 21 or 23 7sins. It is polished alluiminum on the spokes and black around the ring. He told me they had issues with chrome flaking off and is why they do te polish/black
