Default Who has mounted a 21"x 2.15" wheel on an FL front end?
I want to know what exactly is needed to do this. Do I just need longer spacers and teh right size hub? It seems the majority of 21" wheels I find on ebay are for FXST's and such. Will these work assuming the bearings are the right size or are the hub's not as wide? No decisions have been made on size of wheel yet but I must research this avenue as well...

I am thinking I really want the 3" but have seen plenty of Heritage's with a 21"x 2.15 on the front.
