Been pretty busy with work lately, so I haven't been online very much recently.
Anyways, I'm looking to possibly replace my stock, rear wheel with the matching PM Gasser that I've had on the front for a couple years now. My question is... stay with the stock size, or go wth the 18"? What's the advantages/disadvantages?
Just in case someone forgot or doesn't know... it's an '08 FLHX. I know, I know - the site has a wheel sponsor and I'd love to use their stuff, but I'm only looking to match my pre-existing front wheel. And I'm not interested in spending tons of dough to upgrade to a wider, late-model style rear-end, or a newer bike.
If you guys can offer up the hard facts about going from a 16" to an 18" rear wheel (i.e.- ride quality, handling, etc.), then I'd love to hear what you have to say.
