Has anyone put a 21" front wheel on a Heritage, specifically on an '07 Heritage?

What all needs to be changed out to make this happen..

Thank you in advance..

 

I think the wheel might get close to the frame. good question. wonder what it would look like? would you keep a fat tire on it?

 

I do not think the total circumfrance of the tire changes with a larger rim. Not sure though. I believe the sidewall of the tire decreases with the wheel diameter.

 

Check out my Deluxe in my sig pic (Red/Black BIke) and my wife's (orange/Black) Deluxe. They are essentially the same as a Heritage. There is no worries or modifications needed to fit a 21 x 3.2 wheel. The radius of the wheel will pick the front end up about 1 inch. Handling and ride stay the same, if not a bit better.

Let me know if you need more info.

I love your bike & your wife's bike Very Nice!!

And thanks for the knowledge & pix..

Do you or anyone know if a stock Night Train or Custom wheel would fit a Heritage of the same year? Are there any spacer issues that have to be taken into account to get "things" lined up correctly?

Thanks again for all the help..

 

Thanks for the compliments.

IMHO, I'd stay away from the night train front wheel or any front wheel that measures 2.15 wide rim. This tire/wheel combo only has a 90/70 front tire. You want a 3.2 wide front wheel and a 120/70/21 front tire. Technically, a NT front wheel will bolt in, but that skinny front tire/wheel will be lost under that fat front fender.
