Evo Road King Gets A DNA 21" FRONT WHEEL

In this episode we run into some trouble installing the DNA 21 inch front wheel on the EVO road king, Evo's have a thinner axel than the current models, so bearings have to be changed and spacers have to be custom fitted.

great opening music very fitting and great to see your happy smiling face just like an exited kid... great Vlog mate

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@trez2187]

She's looking gr8. That smile that Harley and its customizations put on your face is priceless. No wonder we live longer.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

True👍🙏

[@rickhunglow]

Looks unreal with the new front wheel, shiny things make me feel happy😅 your doing an awesome job of it Paul.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate, having a lot of fun doing it

[@BrizBiker]

Looks awesome Paul,really sets it off looking good✌🏼

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate, yeah I really like the look of it

[@benodie02760]

Looks great and having been down that road I also needed to grind off the screw that holds the front fender trim on the underside so it didn’t rub the tire. 21 fits it well!

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate thanks

[@BigBert]

Coming together beautifully 😍

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, having heaps of fun doing it

[@dazthejazz1640]

Got the same wheel and discs on mine, love the look on my 2001 Road King. And it looks great on yours too mate, can't beat a sweet Road King

Thanks mate, have to agree, I love this thing

[@MOOVIN.GROOVIN]

Sheeeesshh, that looks incredible! 🤘🏾 Love from NC, USA

[@TheYowzerr78]

Wow looks good

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate

[@Jarvisbiker]

Quite a big change, from just changing a front wheel. Bike looks fantastic.....

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate, plenty still to do

[@Nicontrast]

Wheel looks great, love the Evo era.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Bike is coming along great man. You should get some dirty bird upswept fishtail man.....those things sound crazy good.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Pipes coming soon

[@Doorman_GGF]

Looking good mate … oh and the bike is too 😂

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Lol, thanks mate

[@toddschultzandkaysar3530]

I always liked the gas tank decal on road kings

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Yeah they look good

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

It looks bloody fantastic. I think there's a couple companies that make a narrow front fender to accommodate your new rim. Elaine has one question. Will it make it to a bakery? She's all in! 😂

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

She’ll push it if it doesn’t 😂😂

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

@@TheHarleyRoadshow 😂😂😂

[@user-rd3ef6sm1v]

What bearings did you use to get the 21 inch rim to work I’m currently having this issue

[@Scrote69A]

Not much into laced wheels but Paul I like this look

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@lowmopar265]

Looks nice..Watch the rust mate..Nothing made like it use to be.. ask boys at Aussie Vicla what they use....

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate will do

[@psychobillyCadillac88]

I have the same bike, same year I'm putting a 21" before spring.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

They look great with them on 👌

[@justilianoacevedo2185]

I just like to know now that you had the 21” installed has she drop on you on slow turn or at a stop with the steering turned?
Thank you for that great video.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Rides great, turn’s great, hasn’t changed anything, hope this helps, thanks for watching

[@Christopher-sf2wc]

What size tire?

[@bobert219]

Great looking bike! Changing to 21/16 this coming weekend. What lens covers are you using for your front end? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

They are called turbines from cuztom Kraft

[@bobert219]

@@TheHarleyRoadshow thought so! Bit out of my price range but look awesome.

[@atchouaterres]

How did you fit the calipers with a wider wheel ?I have a 96 too and can't figure out !?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

You need to make up some spacers

[@peterhannan847]

Nice look Paul, must catch up and have a comparo, how much does it change the rake? With my 02 RoadKing, I have an 18" front and lifted Fatboy guard.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Rake stays the same, if you go to a 23inch wheel then you need to change the rake, as is it rides really well

[@wesselgeurts2250]

What size is that tire? Just bought the same wheel but can’t find the right size anywhere

[@afro1972able]

your bike looks amazing 👏 what size ape bars , and did you run your wires outside of them?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate, bars are 18 inch factory 47, ran the wires internally

[@jimmybe64]

Great idea, lower unsprung weight equals better ride and handling.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Absolutely!

[@gslife1]

Yes! The fat spokes look great

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@RoadsOfOz]

Looks good mate. How did it affect the bikes handling?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, really hasn’t made any difference

[@garszy]

Mmmm, HogLights 👌

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

They’re pretty bloody good mate

[@Peter-wc4kr]

Normally not a fan of those thick spoked wheels but I must admit it looks hectic on your bike. 👍

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@HarleyDayRider]

Bike looks amazing! Now if I buy it from you will you ship it to the US? How does the bike handle with a bigger tire? Ride Safe

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, can you imagine the postage🤔, rides great

[@ellissmithjr6599]

Awesome bike and a great upgrade 👍😎
What this the change in the seat height?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, seat height changes slightly but not noticeable

[@Bugonabike314]

Wow. Doesn’t that look fantastic. ❤

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks Annie, very happy so far

[@Aamarafi]

where do I get white wall tires for my roadking? anyone can help please..

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Shinko make them, Dunlop, just order them from your local tyre supplier

[@Aamarafi]

thanks @@TheHarleyRoadshow

[@monsride]

Looking good, do you think you'll do a print job?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks, do you mean paint job? Yes I’ll be getting paint done as well

[@NoDollarRider]

not gonna lie, the bike is coming along very well, looking very smick as stated.

They look sick

[@IvanMorales-nm7hn]

I’m trying to find a wheel spacer for my 21” softail 2005 deluxe

[@IvanMorales-nm7hn]

What size of spacer did you use and what size of bearing are on there and size of 25 or 3/4

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Hi mate, 3/4 bearing and the spacer I just cut to size once I had it all lined up

[@IvanMorales-nm7hn]

@@TheHarleyRoadshow do you remember the dimensions and what spacer did you use to cut

[@IvanMorales-nm7hn]

Did your spacer cover the rim hub and sit flushed on the bearing

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

@@IvanMorales-nm7hn I just used a piece of pipe I had laying around that fitted over the axel, lined it up, made sure the brake calliper was lined up measured and cut

[@raygregoryride]

Thats nice cool good looking bike for sure That's all I got to say about that LOL.😊

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Cheers mate appreciate it

[@tobiaskruse6962]

Hey, your Bike looks amazing, how big are your Spacers each side ? Greetings from Germany

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Hi mate, the only way to do it is to put the wheel on and make sure it’s running free with the callipers installed and then measure each side, both sides will be different, then cut to size and install

[@justilianoacevedo2185]

I forgot to add I also have a 2013 Road King special with the front spoke white wall wheel.
I had experience 3 drops. I suspect it has to do with the 21” front height that is affecting the balance.
I will exchange the 21” to a 17” with the same style front wheel.
Anyone? Please what’s your take on this?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Have you got an 18 on the rear?

[@hachewie]

Major cool factor. That front wheel looks sexy as fu**

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, really enjoying this build, happy 50th too mate

Happeee ? ... Reeeeleee Reeeeleee Happeee 😄

Don’t fit a round peg into a square hole.

Especially if it’s your own peg😜
