Running 21X3.5 fat spoke in front and a stock 16 in the rear on my 16 RK hoping to swap out the reat to a fat spoke soon and changing the rotors front and back looks clean
I’m running a 21” wheel on my 98 Heritage with the stock fender and no fender risers,it fits perfect with no rubbing at all. Great video tho. keep up the good work! Aloha 🤙🏾
Yo I have an 05 king with stock, what’s the biggest I can go 21”? I’d like a 23 but would I have to change the rake and other shit if I go that big? Any information would be great! New subscriber here bro, keep the videos rolling with mods and your channel will come up!
@@scottbuck9348 so my King has a 6 degree rake on the front end and will be replacing the front fender as well (stock looks weird lifted onto a 23". Without the rake the biggest I would recommend is a 21". A 23" will fit but you are going to smash things unless your suspension is super hard! Because of the size difference a 23" needs the rake, and mine will be dropped 2" with heavier fork oil then a Klockworks fender to tie it all together. The 23" rocked up today! So stoked to have this all fitted up. Good luck with the new wheel man.
I run a 18 just cause you see more wheel and less white wall, 16 is cool as well but smaller so you see more white wall. Some say 16 looks more traditional but it’s preference. I also didn’t see a significant difference in the ride between the two other than sitting a bit higher in the rear w/ 18
Man rig that guys fender up. You can get it to work. Cut those extender pieces in half and see how much you got to work with and weld up two new pieces using the extenders.
I offered but he wanted me to find a 100th anniversary fender and by the grace of god I found one on ebay but he didnt like the price tag so he made his own. Believe it or not dude is a welder by trade
No he did, he didn’t wanna spend the money on a oem fender or to paint a metal one so he made some brackets and mounted the one he had. He was told the plastic one he had came on the 100th anniversary but it didn’t. I didn’t push him and that was that.
The bolts that are to long ,,,If you put a nut on it before you cut it and then take the night off after you cut it it will realign the threads Or stick the correct die on their cut it off and then take the die-off
I have a die set and used one before I installed them otherwise I’d risk cross threading, I just don’t record every step in my videos cause it makes them extra long and if I time laps some parts like me torquing or using the die isn’t long of a process so it’s literally a super fast clip like a few seconds so I just leave it out. You’re on point and correct though 👍🏾
Yeah the ones with the fixed wheel chock can be a pain. This front wheel vise set up came with the lift table. It has a removable/adjustable wheel stop in front but I take it off for reasons as such.
Looks great but could have just made 4 single home made pieces to raise the fender up where it needs to be and save the cost of buying a fender and then paying to have color matched. Either great work
I offered but at that time he wanted me to try and find a 100th Anniversary fender to match his bike since that one was plastic and aftermarket. I gave him his bike back right after I mounted the wheels After some time I found a perfect oem 100th anniversary fender on ebay same color scheme and all for $500. He said it was too high and made his own risers to stick with what he had.
What do you do to keep the fender from getting dented by the engine guard and light bar? i did this on two bikes and both have the same dents with only a 1" riser.
Hey man I bought a 18" sinister fat spoke. I have no clue which side the rotor or belt drive goes on. One side of the hub is approximately 1/2 longer (wider). Do you know which side is which?
Wider side should be for the pulley side, at least thats the case for the ones ive done. I have a 04 & the pulley uses 7/16x14 bolts and the rear brake rotor uses a 3/8-16 bolts so the rotor bolts wouldn’t fit on the pulley side. Thats a perfect way to know.
For the front yeah, you have people saying drill out the holes bigger but thats raggedy in my opinion. Just spend the 25-30$ on risers and do it the right way. Just watch out for big bumps and pot holes. It being raised means the travel from the bottom of the triple tree to the top of the fender is a bit shorter
You dont have to but it looks a little better if you get a lowering kit installed to make the gap smaller. Just take into consideration that lowering also shortens the suspension travel.
It is a must. I have a 21 and 16 setup and now I am going with a 23 and 18 setup for this very reason. Everybody and there mother is getting 21 inch front wheels. I would go 26 but to me it looks retarted to see a 26 on a cholo.
Its not branded, it came in a box wrapped up. I usually go through ebay and they have private vendors so they either make them or buy them wholesale then sell it.

Can you kindly share the link you got that 21”, I am looking one for my 100th anniversary ultra classic. Thx you
Wowwwwwwwww she’s gorgeous… good job on the wheel exchange! Wish u were near Charlotte NC man
Appreciate you watching brotha, much love from Cali and hold it down in NC 💪🏾
Leave front fender off, looks dope
Larry June in the background 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
🍊🍊🍊
Looks sick AF without the fender
Love the road king in my opinion the 21 takes away from the flow of the motorcycle but to each it’s own
There’s more than one flavor in a ice cream parlor but I can dig it man 🤙🏾
Yes and also the balance which causes bike to drop on stops with steering turn either way.
Where are you located?
I want to take off my 21” to a 18” - 16”. I like your knowledge and trust your work 👏👍
High desert area
Bike turned out mint man! I run a 21" on my King right now, but putting a 23" on real soon!
Hell yeah man, Enjoy that thing when it’s finished!

Looks clean good work 🤙🏻
looks great! Just got a 21 for my Road King!
Right on👌🏾 Enjoy that bruh!💪🏾
Where did you buy your 21” wheel?
So with a factory/stock front fender, you wouldn't have to modify anything, correct? Just install the risers and complete the job right?
Yup its that easy 👍🏾
Just drill out the holes on the finder to 3/8 and tilt the fender forward and it clears
Wouldn’t have worked cause its a aftermarket fender he had no choice but to make taller risers to keep what he had.
Nice work, what size and brand rims and tires do you have on your bike the blk and white roadking?
Would you recommend 16 over 18 in the rear ? I’m looking into the mammoth 52 spoke front and rear set. Thinking 21x3.5 front and 18x5.5 rear
I run a 18 just cause you see more wheel and less white wall, 16 is cool as well but smaller so you see more white wall. Some say 16 looks more traditional but it’s preference.

@@Twotonecustoms. thanks! I’ll probably do the 18 as well. It will be a while till I get the wheels but definitely looking forward to it
Hell yeah well when you do get them you’ll love em, for sure gonna love the compliments! Ride safe and God bless
Is that front wheel 21 3.5
Its all about the small details
What wheels and tires are those? Plan on doing that to mine in the spring.
DNA wheels, Shinko 777 tires
Nice work man! Where are the wheels from?
DNA wheels out of Compton CA
What wheels are they??
Man rig that guys fender up. You can get it to work. Cut those extender pieces in half and see how much you got to work with and weld up two new pieces using the extenders.

Wow, a lot of changes for some spoke wheels. Have the customer put the color match fender on? If so, did you do the installation of that?
No he did, he didn’t wanna spend the money on a oem fender or to paint a metal one so he made some brackets and mounted the one he had. He was told the plastic one he had came on the 100th anniversary but it didn’t. I didn’t push him and that was that.

👍👍🇺🇲😎
Clean work! What brand wheel chock do you run on your lift? I’m tired of jacking my front end up 14” to clear my chock whenever I pull the front rim.
Yeah the ones with the fixed wheel chock can be a pain.
This front wheel vise set up came with the lift table. It has a removable/adjustable wheel stop in front but I take it off for reasons as such.
Hey, what type of jack u using in top of ur table?
What's the torque lb for the rotors
Where did you get the wheels from
Looks great but could have just made 4 single home made pieces to raise the fender up where it needs to be and save the cost of buying a fender and then paying to have color matched. Either great work
I offered but at that time he wanted me to try and find a 100th Anniversary fender to match his bike since that one was plastic and aftermarket.

He said it was too high and made his own risers to stick with what he had.
What do you do to keep the fender from getting dented by the engine guard and light bar? i did this on two bikes and both have the same dents with only a 1" riser.
Bump stop travel limiters
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I forgot to mention my bike is a 2013 Road King
What size are the riser bolts? I got my wheel through DNA and bought the risers and they didn’t come with bolts.
Factory handlebar risers bolts are like 1/2"-13x2” or 2.5” length
do you still run the stock spacers for these wheels?
Yes
Hey man I bought a 18" sinister fat spoke. I have no clue which side the rotor or belt drive goes on. One side of the hub is approximately 1/2 longer (wider). Do you know which side is which?
Wider side should be for the pulley side, at least thats the case for the ones ive done.
I have a 04 & the pulley uses 7/16x14 bolts and the rear brake rotor uses a 3/8-16 bolts so the rotor bolts wouldn’t fit on the pulley side. Thats a perfect way to know.
Thanks man!
Wish I lived close to you. You could retire from me😂
Looking to go 21 front 16 back on my 12 road king classic, am I gonna need fender risers?
For the front yeah, you have people saying drill out the holes bigger but thats raggedy in my opinion. Just spend the 25-30$ on risers and do it the right way.
Just watch out for big bumps and pot holes. It being raised means the travel from the bottom of the triple tree to the top of the fender is a bit shorter
@@Twotonecustoms. found them on Amazon for ten bucks lol thanks
Hell yeah thank you Jeff Bezos bruh lol
Where is that wheel from? Brand? Website? I’m looking to do the same to my 03 Electra Glide.
Dna specialty
🔥
do you need to lower the front end when installing a 21 inch in the front?
You dont have to but it looks a little better if you get a lowering kit installed to make the gap smaller. Just take into consideration that lowering also shortens the suspension travel.
It is a must. I have a 21 and 16 setup and now I am going with a 23 and 18 setup for this very reason. Everybody and there mother is getting 21 inch front wheels. I would go 26 but to me it looks retarted to see a 26 on a cholo.
How did it handle with the 16” in the rear? Any issues?
Rides the same as the factory 16” wheel in my opinion. No one ever complained to me about them so Id thumbs up it 👍🏾
@@Twotonecustoms. appreciate the response!
What wheel set up is this what company
21” Front 16” Rear.
(DNA Specialty) Out of Compton CA
What fender riser is that?
Its not branded, it came in a box wrapped up. I usually go through ebay and they have private vendors so they either make them or buy them wholesale then sell it.
Is this a 40 or 52 spoke
52
What size is the back???
16”
Is that a 150/80r16 or MU85b16? Wasn’t able to see it clearly
Is it 21 or 23 inches?
21”
