Forged Engineering & Custom Bagger Dynamics
### Precision CNC-Machined Forged Aluminum
Unlike standard cast aluminum wheels that carry excess weight and porous internal structures, Performance Machine wheels are CNC-machined from forged billet aluminum blanks. Radial forging aligns the grain structure of the aluminum alloy, allowing PM to carve thin, elegant spoke shapes without sacrificing structural integrity or rotational strength under heavy bagger touring loads.
### The 21-Inch Front Wheel Stance
Upgrading to a 21″ x 3.5″ front wheel elevates the front end of your Harley Touring chassis, filling the front fender gap and providing an elongated, custom custom-bagger profile. The 3.5-inch rim width accommodates standard touring front tires, maintaining a solid contact patch and predictable turn-in response through twisty road sections.

Step-by-Step DIY Installation Overview
Installing a Performance Machine custom front wheel is a straightforward bolt-on process for experienced home mechanics. Estimated installation time: 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
### Required Tools
- Motorcycle Jack / Center Stand
- 3/8″ & 1/2″ Drive Torque Wrenches
- Allen / Torx Socket Set (for axle pinch bolts and rotor hardware)
- Threadlocker (Blue Loctite 243) and axle grease
### Step 1: Motorcycle Preparation & Front Wheel Removal
Elevate the motorcycle on a frame lift until the front tire clears the ground. Carefully unbolt the dual front brake calipers and hang them securely using shop wire to avoid strain on the brake lines. Loosen the front axle pinch bolts, unscrew the main axle nut, and slide out the axle to remove the factory wheel assembly.
### Step 2: Mounting Brake Rotors & Front Tire
Mount a quality 21″ front touring tire onto the PM wheel rim and balance the assembly. Install your matching dual-disc brake rotors onto the PM wheel hubs using new grade-8 rotor bolts treated with blue threadlocker. Torque rotor bolts in a star pattern to manufacturer specifications.
### Step 3: Wheel Installation & Brake Realignment
Apply a thin coat of axle grease to the front axle shaft. Slide the PM Paramount wheel into place with correct axle spacers installed. Slide the axle through, torque the main axle nut to factory torque settings, and tighten pinch bolts. Reinstall front calipers, check rotor clearance, pump the front brake lever to restore hydraulic pressure, and perform a slow speed test ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
### Do I need to modify my front fender to fit a 21″ x 3.5″ wheel on a 2000-2007 Touring model?
Most 2000–2007 stock Harley Touring front fenders can clear a 21″ wheel setup by elongating the rear fender mounting holes or installing inexpensive fender adapter brackets. However, fitting a dedicated 21″ wrap-style front fender offers the cleanest custom appearance.
### What brake rotors work with this PM wheel?
Performance Machine wheels feature custom hub bolt patterns designed to work seamlessly with PM matching Paramount dual-disc brake rotors or PM-compatible aftermarket rotors. Stock 2000–2007 Harley rotors will not mount directly without adapter hardware.
