thanx for the pics so far. most of what I can see is that frame sits fairly level but I guess since I am running a two over front end and a 21 tire that would have alot to do with it. I know that the stock was a 19. I just hope that the angle will not affect the oiling, since that was brought up. I guess Ill just have to take my chances.

Nice 1980 XLS. I have that same tank. Got it on eBay a couple of years ago. That color was available i think only in that one year. It is the best looking larger Sportster tank. Are those the original 2" over Roadster Forks?

Just for your info......... The 21 inch tire is almost, if not exactly, the same diameter outside as the 19 inch tire. And then you have to split any difference by 2 if you are talking about how much farther off the ground is the axle. Not much difference there.
The reason being the 21 is most likely a 3.00 X 21 and the 19 is surely a 3.25 X 19. These tires have the same OD (approx).
The 'wall section' on a 21 is not as great as that of a 19.
