Default Wg front wheel

Looking into getting a 3.5" × 21" wheel in front for my 2014 wg so I can fit a 120/70/21 metzler. I was wondering who my options are for the wheel? Also wondering what people who have done this did for a front fender as I'm sure mine won't fit anymore?

I have a Street Bob that I converted the trees over to Fat Bob trees on. I did this because I wanted a wider front tire, fender and over all change to the look of the bike. I added the exact same size wheel and tire setup you are looking for, sorry I can't provide the make of it all, I got it off another forum member already all built up. I am also running a touring style fender over it and its mounted with klockwerks brackets. I like the look of the wheel, but I am thinking I might go to a 16" front and rear setup sometime this summer or fall, just because I like the look of the classic bikes and want to put some wide white walls on the bike.

Here are some pics of my setup.

Did this with my 97...wheel from HogPro...front fender from J&P (tech assisted me with selection) - which is slammed close to the tire.

I have a 3.5 X 21 DNA twisted 80 spoke on my 99. The 120/70 21 ME 880 made a huge difference in the way she handles. No longer does she follow the tar snakes. Topped it off with an FL style front fender that I shortened by 2".

You should be able to just lace a wider wheel to your existing hub, but with spokes, labor and all it might not be that much cheaper than getting a whole new wheel assembly.
