Default New to site......deluxe on 21???s

Hello Iam new to this site I see a ton of nice bikes on here along with some good info. I just picked up an 05 Deluxe with 2223 miles on it 3 weeks ago I have since changed out a few of the chrome items that had flames and so on on them (not to my liking on this bike) Iam looking at changing out the front to a 21 but want to keep the white wall and also try to match it up with the rear untill I can change it out as far as the spoke count not the rounded at the lip wheel. So my question is what hits what fits and far as putting a 21 up front. what tires will work on 3inch wheel and are there any white walls that will fit 3.5 Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. At this point your gonna have to stretch a 21/90 or get a vee rubber. The word is that DB tires isn't making the custom 120/21 as of now

Any pictures of 21 up front and a short description of what you are running would be great.

Thanks again

I think a few shops still have some db ww's in stock. Try nautical customs and native baggers.
A 21-3.5" and a 120-70 tire is what you want. And a front lowering kit to bring it back down. Nothing is a clearance issue

A 21x3, 3.25, or 3.5" rim will fit with a 120/70/21 tire under your stock fender. As far as the WWW tires in the at size, Vee Rubber or Diamond Back. We have a few of the Diamond Back WWW Metzelers in stock still.

If you are concerned about not being able to get another one I can sell you two of them.
