From myself!
I have a shop and have accounts with almost everyone. As for what I paid, it wasn't much, maybe $350 for the front wheel/tire combo. I went with the 60 spoke rear as well...waiting on someone to make a decent 18" rear WWW then will switch to that out back...

Definitely go with a 3.5 wide rim up front. It fills the guard nicely when a 120/70-21 tyre is fitted.

Love the looks of that wheel. What wheel is it and where is the best place to purchase it?

I went with a 21x3.0 , 80 spoke from Hogpro. 120/70/21 on the tire. I also stayed 40 spoke on the rear. Probably going to switch to an 18 inch in the rear some day.

What is the name of your shop & where are you located? I live in Arlington and always looking for good shops.

Awesome looking bike, It looks like you changed your front rotor also?
Any issues with the 21" and did you do anything about the fender, my shop says he slots the holes and equally spaces the fender to tire as he has experienced tire expansion blister the paint on back of fender.
