21 inch front wheel and lowering fork?
All of you that have a 21in front did you all lower your forks.
I'm thinking of leaving it alone at first to see how it feels.

Depends on what size you are going up from, a 19" going to 21" keeps the same height due to a bit of a smaller profile tire.

I am going from a 19 front to a 120/70/21. I don't have it yet. I hope it won't raise it to much.

I'm running a 90/90-21 in front, it raised the front slightly. I didn't actually measure it, but I can tell it sits a little differently on the kick stand. I can't tell any difference good or bad in the handling.

my front is a 120/70/21, don't think it changed the front much if at all, my shop would have told me if there were anything to be concerned about
