Default Changing Fatboy front wheel?

Anyone change out the solid front wheel on a Fatboy to a 21" but keep the rear as is?? ( and got pic's) Was wondering how this would look.

I had a Fat Boy rear wheel on my Heritage with an 18 front. Ran a 130 tire on it......

I suppose it wouldn't be much different than a Night Train which has a solid rear wheel and spokes in the front.

I have a fatboy with a 21" spoked front wheel with 140 tire and a stock fatboy rear wheel and tire. I think it looks good but i added heritage bags so the rear wheel and tire is mostly covered when looking at it from the side.

Ya i would think it would just look like a Night train or softail custom just with an FL front end instead! I dont know why you would want to do this tho! I love the way the fat front wheel and tire handle! Much more stable then that skinny *** 21 i had on my train! After buying my new Fatboy Lo 2 weeks ago and feeling how much better and comfy it is compared to my Train was i swore to myself i would never go back to a skinny wheel and foot pegs! Im now a converted Foot board and fat tire guy! soooo comfy!

You can get a 21 front and throw a 120 or 140 on it. I know what you mean by the wide front tire and floorboards. Love them on my Train!
