21" HD profile rim help

I have the HD smooth profile rims on my 05 Deluxe . My question is does Harley make a 21"profile rim I can put on the front to match my rear? I think my axel is 3/4.

Yes Harley makes a 21 " Profile rim .But it only comes as a 21 x 2.15 and it will be off a bike with a FX front end .It will fit but the tire will look a little skinny under the fl front fender. Also the fx wheel's off set is a 1/4 "different than a FL wheel.So all though everything will bolt right up and will work(spacers ,rotors,etc) the tire will not be centered in the fender.Its a look only thing is does not affect handling etc. I had my wheel Harley( FX 21x2.15) relaced 1/4 " toward the rotor side so it would be centered in my fender.All they do is loosen the spokes,shift the hoop 1/4" off the hub toward the rotor side.Then re true and tighten the spokes.A lot of guys on here are running a FX 21 on a Deluxe with out doing what I did and its fine. I'm just ****. The first two pics are a before and after of the relacing.The last 3 gives you an idea of how it will look .Good Luck.

If Harley make the wheel, as you say, then you will be able to buy the rim separately, you just need to know what bike its for, to get a part no.
Then you can get it relaced with your own hub.

They make the wheel .I had one. The hubs are the same on both wheels FX and FL its the offset that it different.So if you just buy the profile hoop and relace it to your own hub you will have the same out come, off center. UNLESS when you relace it you off set the hoop 1/4 " toward the rotor side.The pics speak for them selves.
