Sure it will fit, but it's not going to lift your bike any. The difference in size is unnoticable....The 19" with the larger sidewall & tread tire is almost the exact same size as the 21" with the smaller sidewalled tire.

It should be exactly the same size. Unless you are changing the rubber too (which might not be a good idea) then it will not lift your bike at all.

Exactly! the 19 inch wheel uses a different size tire, and the overall outside diameter of the rubber is the same.

It still shouldn't give you any real difference in lift. If you want lift in the front, you'd have to get longer fork tubes, say 4", 6", or 8" overtubes. If the tubes you state above are from a "Custom" model, they may be a little longer, but I can't remember if HD used different tubes between the models or just shorter springs inside the tubes to acheive the height on the "Low". I'm not sure what you trying to accomplish though.
