Default Crossbones 21" front wheel

I am considering moving up to a 21" front wheel for my Xbones.... Has anybody tried this, any performance issues?

Default Crossbones change out to 21"

Got an '09, would'nt recommend it without some serious front end changes.

Default do not do it

the ridge fork is got a diff rake look at a 21 springer and look at yours your tire is closer to the frame it took harley almost a year to get it right that where the bad boy (black out springer) came from it was suppost to be the heritage springer but they couldnt get the trail/rake right so they shipped a blacked out 21 springer

I've seen three Crossbones on this site running 21's. Looks sick if you ask me. What major mods other than losing your fender must you do?

Skipper469 had a 21" with his judge wheel, C.Numb had a 21 with his 60 spoke. I can't think of the third, maybe just two? ah the third is in the crossbones pic thread he has a 21 with a 120 mounted. I have a 21" ride wright coming and I chose the metzeler 140 to mount on the wheel. So that would make me the fourth. I got a couple weeks if I have to do major mods on the front end I guess but it's the first I have heard of it?
