Default Almost made a mistake..
I bought the rim an spokes an tube for the 21. I decided I wasn't sure I wanted it. So put it all up for sale here. No takers even with me trying to get less then I payed. So I said fk it an laced it up an put it on. Im sure glad it happen this way. Here is a picture will try an get a better one outside tomm.

Be careful of the tire rubbing on the fender bracket. I have a 90/90 on mine with no problem but a friend of mine put a 120 on his and going down the freeway at 70-80 mph the tire would expand and rub on the fender bracket. He raised his fender about 1/2" and fixed the problem. Yours does look good though.
