If you have a 21" wheel on front, I think they are thinner than if you have a 16". the tire on my 03 with a 16" wheel is 3.5" wide. If yours is 21 you could just get a 16" tire and wheel. My .02

a 16 inch wheel wont fit between the narrowglide forks, it is considerably wider than the 21". it might just squeeze in, but will not work. you absolutely have to change the front end, either an aftermarket WG tree set-up where you swap out your 39 MM forks or go with a complete 41mm WG setup. shoot me an email, and i can give you the breakdown on whats needed.
