One thing I did have to do after riding it was bring the forks up through the clamps about a 1/2 in. The overall height of the new wheel/tire was about 1/2 taller than the stock set up. Doesnt seem like much, but after riding it I had to bring the front back down. Didnt have any clearance issues with the fender though.

Here is a better picture of the rotor side. I had to splurge for the nicer rotor. Puttin the stock rotor on there just wouldnt have worked.

Looks great. Can we see another picture from the side with the fork adjustment? I have been on the fence for months whether to go with a 21" front wheel or keep the stock size and wrap a nice fender around it.

good move! and +1 on doing somethin w/the fork lowers - chrome or pc otherwise they will soon be crap. that is unless you'd rather spend ur riding time polishin?

Yeah, I got a pair of take off lowers for extra cheap from a buddy. They have never even seen the street. This way, I can have the chromed without a lot of down time with the bike. Im gettin all my parts needing to be chromed gathered up here pretty quick. The bike looks lopsided with a dull aluminum wheel in the back and a nice shiney new chrome wheel in the front. I think the headlight and the wheel kinda compliment each other.
All I did to the forks were loosen the triple clamps and slip up the forks about a half an inch. I have the stock bars and have no clearance issues. I just dont have a pic of the upper forks at the moment. I know Im gonna have issues with road groves that I didnt have with the stock wheel, but in my opinion the narrow wheel handles better. Thanks for all the compliments guys.
