Why stop at 21"?  How about 23"?  BTW, you can still lock up the front wheel with a single brake rotor, assuming no abs.  The second rotor makes it easier on your hand to pull and gives greater longevity.

Because in order to go any bigger than 21" you MUST make alterations to the neck and tripple trees which may include cutting and welding which I for one was not interested in doing to a 30k bike. They do look cool but in order to get the right geometry that has to be done and it's not very cheap either.

As for the brake, mine works fine. It's actually a bit smoother on stopping than duals are, kind of like a softail.

Looking for pics of anyone who has stepped up to 21" front.  Also, how does to ride and handle?
Thanks

here is my photo-shop idea:

Here is an 2011 with a 21"x3 1/2" Renegade Racine that I put on a couple of weeks ago @ Sturgis. Road home the way we came and I honestly can say the bike handles better, especially with cattle guards and holes etc. I love the new Avon tire that came with the deal as well!!!

and the bike,I think it needs a new rear wheel as well... would anyone stick with the stock size or would U go to an 18" wheel?? If so, why the 18" vs the 17" and what would be the change in height, and what would I feel different about the ride w/18"vs 17"? Help appreciated!

You can do a 23" wheel in the front with just a raked triple tree. No need to chop the neck.

The stock, '12 CVO RGC has an 18" rear, stock and a 19" front.

Yes, you can and that's more $$ as well. For everything. They look good too. 21" was big enough for the look I wanted and least expensive way to go for all components required.

I'm contemplating a 23" on the new bike. The 21" was nice, no complaints however I really like the 26" on my chopper.

after running the 21" and likin it .. Im lookin real hard at the 26" '' it is said " anything worth doin .. Is worth overdoin "

Here's a few shots of a friends skunk.
He wanted the 21" wheel and the apes.
Harley of Charlotte did the work.
The paint on the fender is a perfect match.
Same painter that did the N-Line trailer for me.
The title of this thread is asking for pictures so here's a few.
