The ride on my 2000 road king got somewhat rougher with the 21, but not a deal breaker, and it handles better. I changed nothing other than front wheel and rotors. Stock front suspension, stock rear.

Did you ask the dealer if he had ridden a bike with a 21"? Or if HD makes 21" wheels?

I used the 1" drop from Harley in the P&A catalog, but there are better choices out there I am sure.

I also want to go with the same style of front finder you have. Does it shake down by the ground from engine vibration?

I put a 21" RC Majestic from Hogpro on my '10 SG and paired it with lowered progressive monotubes. Ride is great better than stock! I went with the full 2" drop, but the tech installed it wrong and had bottoming out issues so as long as they had to take it apart on their dime to fix it I decided to put one space in each side so it's 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 lowerd.
