[quote=DocHarley;8059242]Yes, it would be OK but the bike will not handle or look as good then if you lower the front end. I lowered mine around 1 1/2 with a 21" wheel and the handling is better then stock IMO.

how did you lower the front 1 1/2"..the lowering springs say 3/4 to 1"....thx

I have a 2006 electra glide standard and want a 21 inch wheel as well. Can i leave the stock 16 in the rear or does it need to be changed? Having trouble finding the answer

I have the 21/16 set up and it rides the same to me. I did lower front 1",
So I would say the answer is you can leave the 16 on rear.
