so the rocker front end is 49mm narrow to mid glide IMO since ya'll went to the breakout rims did you had to do the whole front end swap or you kept the same rocker front end
coz IMO the factory rocker rims where 21x2.15 whereas breakout im not sure

You have to swap to Breakout, or aftermarket trees to run the front Breakout wheel on a Rocker.

Yeah. You have to go to a wide glide front end. Word of advise, since you have to switch the front end go for raked trees to accommodate the bigger diameter of the front wheel.

Bike rides soooo much better now. Doesn't track at all and it feels solid

You'll need a wide glide/Breakout or after market triple tree, and a new after market axle if you want to use your forks, or you'll need new forks and a new HD axle.....

Hey one more route you can do is, the latest breakout Pro if you look at it comes with an inverted forks, so probably I will go to a dealer ask them to see if they can provide you that,
Inverted forks looks lot cooler and handles a lot better in braking
