Default 21" front wheel for Softail Deluxe



2010 Softail Deluxe, 16" apes, vance & hines pipes, stage 1, and solo bag


Hi,
I have a 2010 softail deluxe that I am looking to change the front tire to a 21". I am going with a DNA wheel & Avon WW tire. I am not sure on the width, either 3.25" or 3.5". Also I am not wanting to change the rear wheel so I was thinking a 60 spoke front wheel just to help fill the bigger space and not to noticeably different from the back.
I am looking for some suggestions on which width? and 40, 60, or 80 spoke?

I did what you are asking about. I went with a 21x3.5 60 DNA 60 spoke on my 06 Deluxe. Fits good.

my friend has a 40 in the rear and a 60 up front. you cant tell at all! looks great! so dont worry about the spoke number if your trying to keep your rear wheel. i just would not get a fat spoke wheel that might look funny
