The thing that strikes me with this set up is that everyone seems to want to eliminate one of the front rotors and brakes to get a better view of the custom wheel. I've got to think that this is a bigger issue (stopping a big bike soon enough) as opposed to handling from the height difference on the tires.
Not to mention the chrome rotors I was looking at were more expensive than the wheel itself... jeez

OOO Boy... another nay sayer... You could upgrade your rotor to a 13" and run a 6piston caliper to make up a little on the loss of a front brake, however I ran the stock set up with only the single side on my 07 and you just get use to slowing down a sec earlier. No biggy... IMHO.
i agree i cant tell abit of difference withone rotor and i didnt go up to the 13" either stops fine

...sure, runnin' the 21 up front u definitely get some handling issues but nothing the coolness of havin it won't compensate for 
+2 on Coastal Moto for the hook up on shipped Ready-2-Go rims, rotors & tires.
...the stock fender works fine, but they recommend a minor adjustment.

95% of our customers who went with a 21" up front love the look and feel the handling is different but still good. I personally think a 18" front handles a little bit better than the 21" fronts but it is not a drastic difference to me when I ride them. The 21" fronts will fit the stock fender but you need to check the fender clearance and possible raise it a little. Let me know if you any other questions about this combination on your bagger.
Whatever you decide, give Robert from Hogpro a call. Outstanding customer service (see wheels and wide swing arm kit below from HP) Robert and HP are a pleasure to deal with.
