RE: Heritage 21" Wheel
Did you buy the wheel for your bike or is this a universal wheel?
If it was purchased for the year and model bike it should be a bolt on.
If it is a custom application wheel, you may be making spacers and or playing with rotor spacing.
Both my 18" and 21" wheels were purchased for my specific model bike and they were direct bolt ons.

RE: Heritage 21" Wheel
On the Vrod I had I put a 21x2.15 with an MH90 on the front and an 18x8.5 with a 260 on the rear. Made it ride like a bike dirt bike at slow speeds and the bike did fall into corners compared to when I was running a 120/200 combo. Seems like for good handling, you need to stay with atleast a 120 on the front.

The kind where you installed a fat tire kit on your stock bike and it no longer handles like stock?

The fater 21" with a 250/260 may be a decent setup also. The big rear tires want to push the small front tire. By adding some more width to the front tire this may help.
