yes it "can" be done but it takes alot of work and money in mods. the fender alone is to narrow so it would need to be split and made about 3" wider and i think the wheel needs milling at the hub too someone did it and it looks bad to the bone but it seems to be a nightmare as far as getting the back on.

Hmmm I have spoke wheels. So if I went with the raider front wheel, and the roadstar cast wheel (or whatever its called) for the rear I think they would match OK. Especially if I put Venture bags on it. Seems it would cover it up enough to make it less noticable.

What do you guys with the Raider 21" have as a rear?

AEE Choppers
Re:any idears on doing a 21 inch wheel 11 Months ago  
my only suggestion is don't do it....upsets the flow of the styling of the bike (sorry guys). 21" wires only work on certain particular designs and the does not include all choppers.
Plus depending on the height of the tire used it can mess with your handling......
Much like the big ass wide tire on the bike theme looking so ridiculous (hear me OCC?) the solid bagger giant ass end with a skinny 21 up front is silly.

All of course IMHO.

I am running the stock cast aluminum rear wheel with the Raider 21" front. You can't even notice the difference in wheels unless you get on your hands and knees and look at the rear.

Smokescreens thanks bro for answering that so fast! I actually like spokes the best! In fact your wheels are bad ass! Where did you get those?
