Default 21" Front Wheel
Looking at putting at 21" wheel with a 120/70 tire on the front of my 06 Road King Custom......HOGPRO says I will not have any installation issues.....

Will I have any issues?

The only thing you may have to do is open the rear fender mounting holes up a little, and tip the fender forward when installing. This is just to give enough clearance between the fender / tire. Use a nut taped to the wheel to check for clearence Thats all I had to do

Did this change to a 21" change the ride of your bike much? Curious.

Mine got better but I went with 21/18 combo and lowered the front 1 1/2.

You guys are killing me!!! My RC Czar Eclipse 21/18's have been on order 1 month and a day today. I was quoted 3-4 weeks, and we're now past that. Supposedly they craft each set of Eclipse wheels to order. Whatever, I'm getting impatient I've got the Race-Tech kid ready to go as well. I'm gonna lower it just an inch vs the optional 2" to hopefully preserve a bit better and less rigidity to the ride.

Hogpro is correct---no issues. I installed a 21" "Big Fatty" up front. Left the fender alone, didn't lower the front, left 16" on rear and lowered the rear another inch. The bikes handles better than my old Ducati Monster.
