Default front wheel question for 06 standard

I am looking to swap my front wheel but don't know were to begin. What size bearings, etc? Want to put a 21 x 3.5. Everything I see on ebay for that size says for up to 99 model.

For an 06 Standard your going to need a different setup. Newer bikes (2000 and up) use a larger axle shaft, 1" I believe, and sealed bearings. So wheels made to fit older bikes will either not fit properly, or not at all.
You may not be able to find what your looking for on evil-bay, but they are avalable. Your just going to have to "bite the bullet" to get them. Check out HogPro, they are a sponser here and do have some reasonable prices for wheels, and they will mount and balance a tire on it before shipping.

I think 2000 and newer use a 3/4 axel and sealed bearings.
