Default Hello from Nebraska

Just wanted to say hi to everyone here. I'm presently working on rebuilding a wrecked 08 Heritage. I built up a 00 Heritage about 10 years ago so I want to do something different with this one. I've been looking at several different styles, but am leaning towards the RSD Tracker or a Ness Taildragger. Either way I'm pretty sure I want a Springer up front with a 21".

So far, I've replaced the frame with a factory HD one, thus keeping the same numbers and have the motor back in. Now I'm collecting small parts and trying to decide on the look for the rear. The area where I get confused is that I want to use the rear tire/rim I have which is a 150 I believe and most of the kits I see are using 180's or bigger.
