Default Fatboy 21" wheel & fender questions

I have a 98 Fatboy that I want to put a 21" front wheel & tire on. I know that there are a few of you here that have done that. Has anyone used a narrow 21" wheel, like a 2.15" or a 2.5" wide wheel? What size tire?

I also want to change my front fender to one from either a Heritage or Deluxe or a Russ Wernmont fender.

Any front view photos of a narrow spoke 21" wheel on a Fatboy/Heritage/Deluxe?

Here are some pics of various width rims all with the Avon 90/21 tire. The difference between the 3" and 3.5" rim is so hard to see with the 90/21 tire on it. The difference is about 1/4" from sidewall to sidewall between the two.

Thanks for the quick replies, but I am looking for pics of the fatboys, heritage or deluxe with narrow 2 1/4 or 2 1/2" wide wheels.
