questions
To everyone's ?'s i did go with the 3.5 on the front. And to the guy above i think maybe the reason yours were so cheap is because you didn't get the mammoth spokes. i got the 52 spoke wheels 18 and a 21 the cheapest i have seen yet is 425 they sold them to me direct for 415.00. The only thing that sucks is i cant go white walls. I guess i am going to have to wait for a tire company to make tires for my wheels.

I had my bike next to a guy(heritage) who just put new 19" up front. He was thinking that his wheel looked unique....then he looked at my 21" and said if he knew a 21" would have fit he would have went that route...HUGE difference in appearence between a 19 and 21. When i park my ride outside of some local spots around other bikes people pass up all those bikes and go straight to mine looking at my front end. 21" up front looks killer.You won't be disatisfied with a 21" wheel... IMO of course

I have yet to see a 21 on a FL softail in real life. I have seen 21s on the Touring bikes at the local bike night and they looked pretty good.
I like the idea of more wheel showing, especially with radial laced spokes. One thing I am unsure of is the narrow tire width. I am also unsure of raising the front of the bike due to the increased diameter. I thought the 19 might be a good compromise...at least looking at the tire specs on paper. Hard to make decisions on things I haven't seen.
