Do you think its a one for one swap?  Or is there a lot more to it.  Its probally more money than what it worth.

[Lucky88]

Some how, I like the looks of the 2010 18 wheel. When and if I get my 2011, I was thinking of changing to the 18 fronts... Going backwards... am I crazy or what

Might as well go 21" looks better anyway?
I am installing RC Components Savage 21 front 17 / 200 rear this fall (18 / 200 is to tall for the inner fender space)

As DABB says, here's a link to the posts http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=52208.0

DABB... hope you don't mind, but i told my wife it was your fault, and the chrome rotors will be too. Lastdegree will take the hit for the calipers.

OK, I'll take some responsibility for the calipers.  BTW, I've just ordered the chrome rotors and other chrome pieces 

[DABB]

Thanks for posting the link, that is above my computer knowledge.  No problem with the wife, all my buddies do the same thing as I am not married.  Looking forward to seeing these wheels with the extra chrome.  i might have to get these rotors for mine.

Here's a photo of the 19" Agitator wheel with polished rotors, flush mount axle and chrome calipers. Browns did the plating ($300 for both calipers) and Specialty Polishing (Winston Salem, NC) did the rotors.

I love it! I priced the calipers.... over a grand in Canada for the pair. Outrageous! I gotta find a guy up here to do what you did.
Did i read you right? Did you replace the rotors or have work done to them as well?

(Dam!! This is like Godfather III... "Just when I thought I was out.... they pull me back in!")

They're the stock rotors. Just had them polished.

Wait till Mano joins in.  I gotta feeling you might give JW a run for his ChaChing

Close to $2k in the UK for a new wheel, tyre, fitting kit and two chrome rotors - TWO Calipers would have seen a Beemer K1300 looming!

Just buy the 360 brake set up for the front and do away with all that clutter...

[lastdegree]

I never had calipers so that's not fair.  Now, a pair of monkey bagger bars is a different matter

I've just seen my bike with the 19" and it's worth it.  Pics soon.

Wheels, those Beemer's just call to me - I'm european!

I understand but too much plastic took one apart for repairs this summer for repairs personally not at all impressed with either the quality or the aesthetics.

I have owned several of their cars and while they were very fun to drive I prefer my Mercedes's. The automotive engineering of the Euro cars far and away exceeds that produced here.

The bike's however do not call to me?

 

[lastdegree]

I'm with you - just love merc's and preferably from the best years of 1990-1995.  Many a W124 series 500E, E500, E60 have graced the garage.
