Default 13" Front Rotor Heritage/Deluxe

Has anyone done or seen a Heritage or Deluxe with a 13" rotor upfront and wants to comment on it?&nbsp\\;

I'm contemplating upgrading the breaks on the bike to PM 6 piston upfront and later on down the line a 19 or 21 front wheel.&nbsp\\; I can't do the wheels @ the same time due to limited funds.&nbsp\\; I like the increased stopping power that I've read to be associated with a 13" rotor (I'm pretty big fella &amp\\; well the wife is no size zero) &amp\\; I think once I put on the 19/21 front wheel it'd keep everything proportionate (I also like the look of "massive" - currently running Carlini 1.5" - 18" flyin apes which are pretty massive looking..).

I know it'll hide some of the wheel &amp\\; my choices for rotors is dramatically limited but I'm up in the air on what this would look like &amp\\; it's a pretty big investment to find out that it's pretty damn goofy looking....So any thoughts ideas are much appreciated..
