Default What size front wheel?

Want to put a 21" front wheel on my street bob.

Can anyone tell me what this entails as far as wheel width, spacers etc

Thanks in advance!

The easiest way is to use your existing hub. Buy a 21" rim and new spokes and lace to your hub. No spacers needed, no fender mods, all fits fine.

To use the existing hub would i have to keep the standard 2.5" rim or could I go to 3.5"? sorry about the questions, never messed around with wheels before

21x3.25 rim with 120 tire will clear the stock fender. No spacers necessary.

That will look good with a 21"
What brand are your pipes? Loud?

Also...how did you get the 2nd signature photo?

Thanks

Rinehart cross backs, not too loud but good and deep

Yes. It's a little narrow to give full coverage to the 120 tire, but there are no clearance issues and it looks fine.
