Keen to put a 21" front wheel on my slim and wondering if anyone else has done the same ? Pretty sure you can use the 21" off of the softail blackline and it should fit using my original spacers. Anyone with more info or pictures that have done this would be great. Cheers !
I would think the fork spacing would be different, and you would need to mod the fende
front fender has been removed and pretty sure the wheel hubs measurements are both the same so should be able to use my spacers. just keen to get in touch with someone who's done it to find out the fine details. cheers
You need a wheel with the appropriate hub for your bike which is most certainly available. Any quality wheel company should be able to get what you need. What kind of wheel are you looking for? Does your bike have ABS?

yeh my bike has ABS, thats why i was going to get the 21" wheel from a blackline as they have ABS aswell and are the same colour hub/rim as my current front wheel.
I have not seen a Slim with a 21" front wheel, but it should kind of look like a Fatboy Lo with a 21" front wheel. HogPro has a lot of photos of different bikes with custom wheels on thier website. You can probably get some ideas there. Also I think a member here (nameless), has a Slim with a 23" front wheel. Look for the softail bobber thread.

i checked that bobber thread you mentioned, i couldn't pick the slim in that thread but sore the post from the guy you mentioned and that bike is to hard to tell if its a slim ??
