Default From 16" to 21" on FLH

I’m thinking of changing my 16” front wheel to a 21” front on my 1976 FLH. I have the 21” wheel and front finder, but I’m not sure of the front end that I’ll need. Any help out there?

the front end you have should work fine, might have to change the spacers though

Keep in mind the 76 came with 10" rotors for your brake setup . Good luck those make a nice change done more than a few over the years . You may have to to make a couple little adapter plates for the fender to mount up decently the FL mounts are lower than the narrow FXWG style fender by about an inch if I remember right , just depends on what yr the fender came off of .
