Default 21" Front Wheel

I am thinking of going to a 21" front wheel on my Low Rider. Will the larger wheel/tire fit inside the stock fender??

Thanks.

Yes, it did on my Bob. It actually fills out the fender better IMHO and takes away the dirt bike look.

I put a 21" wheel on the front of my lowrider, but replaced the fender with a DNA Wide Glide Pro Street fender....looks much better than my old one...I also run a wide glide front end though also

Yes it will fit within the original fender, the 21" has a lower profile tire then your original 19". The overall diameter on the 21" is a little bigger and works out to be about 1" = 1/2" more radius. Also agree what "thedonthere" wrote above.

Could you use the same hub? How about the brakes, do they have to be changed?
