Front Suspension & Handling Issues
« on: May 07, 2016, 04:50:18 PM »

Has any one installed a 21" front wheel and then experienced high speed wallowing and noticed poor handling issues especially on tight corners. I am guessing my existing fork set up is not up to the job.. Probably need upgrading. Just wanted your thoughts.

I installed a 21 on my fatboy.  When I installed the 21, I also lowered the front suspension 1" to correct the geometry.  Handles as good if not better than stock.  No flop at all.
