some people think the skinny tire look on a large vehicle looks good.....it's all the rage to put little bicycle type tires on tall skinny rims on full sized trucks and SUVs... :o.....they must think it looks good.  I think a small 21" tire looks good on a chopper.  8-)  JMHO  ;)  spyder

I like the looks of the front portion of the fender, but the rear seems to be "kicked out" a little at a strange angle near the chrome skirt.

21" lowered fender

A Road King fender with a skirt is the same length as a Road Glide/Road King Custom fender without a skirt. On the red bike I added some extra metal on the leading edges just above the skirt so that I could mount the skirt on the very bottom of this Road Glide fender.

21" tire
« Reply #48 on: January 05, 2006, 02:19:55 PM »
Spydglide - The 21 we run isn't skinny at all. It is a 120, but after you mount it on a 3.5" wide rim its almost the same width as a 130 on a stock 3" rim. Its nowhere near as skinny as most chopper tires.

Twolane - This red bike has front airride that when collapsed sits on the front bumstops. I can cruise around on the bumpstops (on very smooth surfaces!) with no fear of the fender hitting anything. There are absolutely no clearance problems.

Also, the fender isn't kicked out nearly as much as it looks like in the close up photo with the front wheel turned. It looks like that BECAUSE THE FRONT WHEEL IS TURNED. Check out this direct side view shot and I think you'll agree. Paul.

Scooterhair,
Nice looking scooter your friend has gotten there. I honestly can't tell where he got the inspiration from (looking at your avatar) to get a bike like that. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Beautiful bike, congrats to your buddy.  I have a buddy who has had that bike since new and they look great running down the highway.  Good find to get one with such low miles.

Nice RG!  Your pal should be pleased to locate one in that obvious condition with low-low miles.  None of my business what he paid, but pass along the word that I saw a similar condition unit sell for within $1,250 of the new msrp and the new owner was pleased to get it bought.  Congrats on a valuable piece of machinery and a great investment!  Hard to say motorcycle and investment in the same breath, but it sure works with the RG's.

He got EVERYTHING the bike came with +.  2 extra windshields, thunderheader slip-ons, air pump, ALL manuals, sales brochure,  a extra, die cast model, tool kit, tank bra. This thing is super clean.

Great ride Good for your buddy. Must be awesome with those Thunderheader slip ons. Looks like it's in perfect shape. Makes me miss my 01 SERG every time I see any SERG

Don't believe I said it was any of my business what your friend paid, but we do share price info on this site in order to keep track of what our rides are worth and to aid in others buying. We had a thread the other day in which the poster was asking what the cost should be. In addition, I have had my eye out for the right one of these for some time and have been tracking prices. Anyone who reads my posts knows that.  

Thanks, and best of luck to your bud on his new ride
