RE: Any Fatboys with 21" front tires?
Not to be a putz about it, but why would you want to?
I love the 21" wheel and tire on my Custom, but it doesn't have those big fat FL forks either.
I would like to see a pic of one just because I can't get my imagination to come up with a mental pic that looks anything but strange.
I just can't see how that big fat (wide) fender can look"right" when its wrapped around a skinny 21" tire.

The 21" on a Fatboy is the same width as the stock. You just use a lower profile tire to make up the difference in rim size. 05 Deluxe saw the bike and said it looked awsome. He removed the stock sike Performance Machine 18 and went to the PM 21. He had to change spacers to center the rim. (tire rubing the fender)

i just put a 21 on my fatboy, had to use a heritage fender as the fatboy fender only allows a 19" rim unles you cgange the lower legs of the modifiy the fender mounts nether of which i thought looked good. as far as the spacers i used the same ones i had, but the rim was ordered for my bike. i got everything from robert at hogpro. super guy to deal with. just excuse the pic it is a crappy from the phone will try to get a better pic.
p.s. the wheel is a 3.25" wide with a 120/70/21
