Is anyone running or has anyone ran a 21" front wheel on their bike? Will the tug/push and pull of the sidecar destroy the spokes? If you did run a 21" was it narrow or wide wheel? I'd really like to run a 21".........just for looks of course...

Thanks

I think if you checked in on "AdvRider.com" site and put a post on the "Hacks" forum you would get response. It seems to me quite a lot of riders there have KLR650(s) with sidecars. My KLR has oem 21" front so theirs probably does too. (90/ 90- 21)

We've installed sidecars on many bikes with 21" wire spoked wheels through the years.
With narrow 21x70/90 Harley front tires mostly. Sportsters, FXRs, Softails. All fairly heavy bikes with no problems of loosening spokes.
