Which 21" Front Wheel?
Can anyone make a good suggestion on which 21" front wheel would match the stock rear on a Deluxe without looking out of place? I'm thinking that's he next item on the list of mods...

On the thread below Malinger shows a pic of his ride and how the wheel is off centered. Even though you can still ride on it with no problems, it just wont be centered. I guess I'm like Malinger, the feeling of not having the wheel dead center will linger in the back of my head driving me nuts. Call it **** but it just does not look right.

This might be the approach I'm going with unless any other members can shine some light on here for any suggestions on where to get a 21 inch wheel upgrade to match the rear.
Thanks

I can get you one from Ride Wright to match. It would be a 40 spokes as that is what stock is. Pm or email for pricing please. DREW@DRVTWIN.COM

Just to clarify, Ride Wright does not make a wheel that matches the smooth lipped Harley profile wheels. Their rims are stepped for the reason that someone else owns that patent on them. Options for width on 21" rims are 2.15"(for 90/21 tires) 3" for either 90/21 or 120/21 tires) or 3.5" (for 120/21 tires).

Ride Writes are squared which don't match the rounded stock HD wheel... DNA's lip is rounded like the rear HD wheel.
Here's a pic of my old 80 spoke DNA which matched the HD wheel pretty well
