I figure I'll give the 21 a whirl, if I don't like it, I'll go 18. But Im def. trying out the 21 for sure. Im curious to see if Im gonna love it or hate it...

If you think that can't or won't happen, just remember how cool "spinners" were!
Don't think the big front wheel will ever pass Dave it's been around the last 40 years or so.You just see more of it since the internet has become the norm.
Do whatever you want to make yourself happy Utz I say and don't rely on opinions of others especially from those (BJ225)that think the ride might be worse.Whatever you decide ride the hell out of it.

I never realized what a different look the 21" made. Kozy, that mock up made it really easy to compare. I'm now thinkin' beach bars, fish tails and the 21 this winter.

Are U East or West coast liking...

I used to not like the West coast Lux's,, But they have grown on me... I mean, apes, 21's wheels, and those long pipes, the ChoLo's TD's, the 39''s long ones, but, after seeing them in here for a few yrs, Well I kinda dig them now.

I do like Ur ride and for Us Mid-Westeners,, It'd be one good looking ride.

BUT, Now U asked for our opinions. Well,, I just don't care for WW's tires on a one color bike.
The only bike I do like them on is a LUX, But its on the two tone paint jobs where the sides of the fender are dark and the middle-top of them are white.

Look a the thumbs I've added and U'll see the DIFF I am talking bout,

This Heritage has WW's, but the side's of the fenders are white, then the top is dark.

NOW the LUX is what I like and looks really good with WW tires.

When I was young and 1st started driving back in the early 60's, all we could buy was WW tire's.
I just don't like them, Yeah, that's been over fifty yr ago.

SOOO, On Ur bike Id leave all else alone.

But its just an OLD MAN's opinion Which U asked for.

So are U going to get the Samson's 39's True Duals (Chochlows) or what every they are called,,.
