Default 21" front wheel

Anyone put a 21" front wheel on a Fatboy? I'm ordering a set of black powdercoated spokes and I'd like to do a 21/18 setup. I have a smooth Heritage style front fender. Will the wheel clear this fender? Any pics would help. Thanks.

The 21" wheel will clear an oem heritage fender.

That's funny, I asked the same question last week https://www.hdforums.com/m_1430929/tm.htm Maybe, someone will post pics in your thread. I am curious how it will look. I run 18" wheels on mine.

This is not my bike, but it looks as if it has the same components (i.e. fatboy with a 21" wheel and heritage softail fender) that you are wanting to run on your bike. Hopefully this will help in your decision making process.

I know that both Chrome Lady and CNC Guy both are running 21"s on their Deluxes with no clearance problems whatsoever.

I asked the same question about my fatty. I was told that the 21/18 combo will work with the heritage fender and stock rear. I just can't remember what size tires they said to run.
