Thanks for posting - sure someone else has done it, but your Heritage is the first 2018+ I have seen with a 21” front wheel. It looks surprisingly big under the stock fender. What wheel did you use? Any change in handling?

I got the rim custom made from Eagle Parts chopper-shop1.com plug and play no worries about shims/spacers etc.. I was super impressed with handling. Feels very solid especially 75 and above, though it did take just a little getting used to on curves, more accurately I was a little apprehensive on long sweepers for a minute until I was used to it. Bike was still fairly new to me, and wasn't 100% in tune with the bike, even stock. Now, I don't think twice. Plus its tubeless, will get the rear rim done by them eventually so it's tubeless as well.
