I also installed a 1" longer pm kickstand on my 08 flhx to correct the steeper lean angle after the 21" install.

B going with a 21-inch front wheel even though you maintain the stock 16in in the rear it did not change the riding Dynamics much or was it noticeable?

I wouldn't put such an Abomination on my Road King. FL front ends only look right with a 16 front and rear. A 21 with a stock fender looks like a big condom on a little *******.

I guess that’s one man’s opinion, but I’ve never seen a big condom on a little ******* so I’ll take your educated opinion on it.
