     Yeah when they go on I'll dump it on it's ass and push the bars forward 90 degrees should look alright . I was gonna put a smooth lace original spoked wheel on the rear but could not find one and Peter Stevens wants gold for it 900 bucks .

     I suppose if you saw the whole bike it might look better . I reckon they look awsome when they put 21's  with white walls on Deluxe's and Heritage's .

    Can anyone recommend somewhere i can get fat spoke wheels for my 2011 softail Deluxe, with ABS ,

    I assume it is possible to do, as there are 2011-12 models that come out with 21'' front wheels, and have ABS as standard,

     i am going  21'' x 3.5'' front, and 16 ''x 3.5 '' rear  Mammoth spoke Type wheels

    But have been told by some that the ABS would have to be disconnected, ( not an option)

    any input / feedback

    cheers TB1

    nice wheels !! do the new wheels have an ABS hub fitted ?? i spoke to the shop im getting my softail slim from and they told me it should be fine to fit a 21" front wheel as long as you get a hub with the pick ups for ABS. but nice wheels mate, post pics when you have fitted them !!

    Ok been following this thread with some interest. I live in Bum Fuck Idaho so all my research is web based (and that is not something I have hours to use) as opposed to meeting the locals and swapping info, or popping in the local custom shop. My Bike is an 2008 deluxe without ABS.

    Couple of questions,
    Looking at the Attitude Inc Rims in Chrome
    1: Does a 21" front wheel fit without modification in relation to brake and guard and spacers. From my reading it does?
    2: What is reqd to fit a 23" front wheel eg Guard mods brakes etc. not sure on this one.
    Obiviously I would like to match the rear to the front in the same rim. Is there room to move to a slightly larger rim and tyre without guard, brake etc mod? eg a 16x3.5 as opposed to a 16x3.0 and maybe a slightly larger tyre than the std MU85/16 

    What do the Tyres cost  approx? been to Vee rubber site and no prices listed.

    Not the best picture but would appreciate feedback from those in the know.....(both know how to smile for a camera apparently)

    Thanks

    That certainly is helpful. I will keep scratching around to confirm the spacer issue and once 100% will look at selection.

    Just another quikkie, I am assuming the rear tyre fitted without issue

    Our Max Spoke Wheels are to fit up to 2005 Models, SDMF's Bike is a 2013 I think,, We did change the Wheel Bearing to 25 mm Before they left here.
     
    I do believe the Front Wheel when straight on and New Rear Spacers and a 3/8 Pulley Spacer was needed for the Rear Wheel, The Bike did not have ABS.
     
    Metzler and Avon both make a MT90-21 White Wall Front Tyre that will fit the 21 x 2.15 wide rim

    Walka,

    thanks for the reply, if possible could you maybe contact me with what is the minimum I need to fit the 21x3.5 Max Spoke and the 16x3.5 Max Spoke in all chrome to fit my bike. SDMF did answer most questions but still not sure about spacers reqd , I can see what you used on SDMF's bike but unsure if mine would be similar? Would like to have the full picture before ordering so I know what it will cost and that what i recieve will work. Any help appreciated.
