Default Softail Standard wheel

Hello, had the bike for just over a month now and have to say that I cant stand the 21" front wheel. I can feel every bump in the road.
Are there any direct replacement 19" wheels that would fit from other models? I havent got the option of machine shops etc, so would just want a bolt on a go.

Many thanks Ed

Hi Ed, you could try progresive fork springs as this would help, also a 90 90 x 21 metzler tire is better than the stock tire. both of these will make it better for not a lot of money!!
