I am soon going to a big wheel setup on my Road Glide and figured I’d start a thread on it. As of now the bike is pretty much stock with the exception of the headlights, speakers, and exhaust. The bike is great but I’m getting bored with it so decided to do a big wheel on it with stretched bags, new fenders, plasma lights for the rear, new side covers, a single rotor up front, chromed forks, a much better stereo, painted inner fairing, and possibly a stretched gas tank, air-ride suspension with compressor for the front and rear, and chin spoiler. Lots of money but I’m going to do it eventually so why not live the American dream and do it all at once.
I purchased a chopped Tour Pak that I’m having painted to match the bike that I’m debating on leaving on all the time. I have to see how it looks once the bike is done and then I’ll decide. It isn’t the razor Tour Pak that is super thin, and isn’t as big as the grandpa Tour Pak found on Ultras.
The right way of doing a 26” front rim is to cut and rake the frame of the bike. They sell bolt on kits but after research them I decided against it. I’m having DD Customs out of Lake Villa do most of the work. Dave won a bunch of awards at various shows, is local to me, and is attention to detail is amazing.
Here are some pictures of the bike as it sits now.
