That's a great look. Did you have to do anything different to fit the 21 on the front? I heard there were more mods to fit 21s.

Very nice, very nice indeed!
Just where did you get the wheels & tires?
I'm thinking about doing the same or something very close to my Heritage Springer.

If your HS is a 97 to 99 model, you might want to look at the King Spokes.

There were a couple of spacers needed to make it all line up....nothing too hard.

Wheels were purchased locally in Australia at a place called VPW.
http://www.vpw.com.au/

The front WWW Metzeler came from Tab at Diamondback Tires in the US
The rear tyre was also purchased locally here in Oz.
