Default Rocker front wheel on NT or fxst?

Anyone done it? I like the look of the wheel, but not sure how the 19 would look on the bike.

It will drop the front end about an inch. My friend has a 19 on the front of his Springer and other than the larger gap under the front fender it is fine. I gave him the 21" thunderstar wheel that was on my train so he could go back to a 21.

It would look pretty good going that way next with mine. I think BrianP on here has that set up.
