Question 21 inch wheel-softail deluxe
im about to put a 21 on my deluxe and was wondering if you had to alter the front wheel any, maybe ream the mounting holes or anything like that. ive looked at other bikes with a 21 and there seems to be little clearance especially on the back. just wondering so i would know what to expect when my wheel came in. thanks

No modification is needed. Bolts right up. Depending on which hub your runnen you may need new spacers. post them pics when you get it together.

No clearance issue with the fender, and as BnC said, it'll bolt right up with the correct spacers.
