Default 21" front wheel conversion

Hello All-
I have a 2003 FXDL and I am wanting to switch from the 19" mag wheel to a 21" 80 spoke laced wheel. My question involves the brake caliper bolt that exists for the 19" wheel.

Will I have to change my lower fork tubes to accomodate for the difference in tire size with relation to where the caliper mounts sit on the existing tubes?

thanks

hawk-

Your hub probably wont change....just the diameter of the wheel. Depending on the tire you choose, you will have to modify/replace your fender. Everything else would remain the same...but feel free to correct me if someone thinks this is incorrect.
