You will need a Wide-Glide front fork conversion AFAIK for them to fit.

Many thanks for that.
The wide glide kit is further than I want to go.
Back to the search.

Perhaps the best you will get for a fat front tyre with a narrow glide front end is a 110/90 19.
What do have currently?

Yes that is the best I will get. I have the skinny 21'' at the moment.
The rear is loosing it's chrome and wanted to swap them both and put a fatter tire on the front.
I think i'm looking for the 13 spoke wheels but not a lot of them available in the UK.

Join sportster sickness group on faceache and put up a wanted ad is one option.
Just have to keep searching.
My partner's bike came the same and was able to get the 19" cast front wheel you are talking of. Hers is a 2008 and we got the same year complete with bearings and tyre for £110.
