Help! I'm in the mortgage industry... $ matters.... suggestions for savings? and how much performance is lost on the flhxi going from stock to 20 or 21 inch ??? I appreciate direction, experience, and hard knock lessons.

HogPro is a sponsor here and they've helped lots of guys set up their bikes with new wheels. Give them a call, they're pretty honest and will lay out some great options for you.

You'll hear a ton of opinions but general consensus 21" wheel need to lower front suspension, raise fender. If on the road and need a tire 21" might not be on stock ( although they are getting more popular) You hear about 50/50 that its a better or worse ride. 19" stock for 09 and ? Called several dealers a few in my area a few out of state no 19 in stock. Same boat as you whats the best bang for the buck. Decided going with and 18" front and stock size rear, like the fatter look see more of the rim then the 16" and won't have to mess with any suspension. Thought about chroming the stockers, but the moco shows the airstrike around $500 ea. A few things to thing about. Good luck there could be worst decisions we could have to make.
