For a 21 x 3.25" on the front of a bagger your best option is a 120/70-21. No one makes a 130 front tire for a 21". The 140/70-21 will fit the rim but not work with your stock fender. We generally like the Metzler ME880 120/70-21 front and a 150/80-16 rear for your year bagger on those size rims. If you have any questions you can Hogpro at 818-886-6545 and ask for Rob. I will be glad to answer whatever tire questions you have.

Okay.....so I pulled the trigger today on the tires....I went with Metzlers......140 for the rear and the 120/70-21 for the front....I hope I made the right decision.
