If your looking to do this, I'd recommend going with a DNA 21x3.5" with a 120/70/21. No need to spend big money on the Ride Wright when you can get just as nice a looking wheel with just as good a quality out of the DNA. Just my 2 cents.

How do you like that Landmark and how much was it compared to others like DNA, Ride Wright?

I think the 21" screams for more spokes. Using the stock 40 looks better on the 16" and looks lacking on the 21".

I have a 60 spoke 21x3.5 on my heritage. The 3.5 fills out the front fender and looks great!
