Default Ugly Azz front rim?

I have searched and searched. On my old FXSTS I had a 21 x 2.15 chrome front rim. I loved the way it looked. I cannot get used to the look of this ugly azz 19" black rim on my 09 FXDB. I have read the threads about lacing up a new rim with new spokes. Is that going to be the best option or can I spend a little more and get a direct bolt on assembly? If a direct bolt on is available does anyone know where to get it? Like maybe a part number or something. Maybe even a
21 x 3.00 for handling purposes.

Top notch and top dollar!

Just go buy yourself a 40 hole, OEM style 21" rim and spoke set and lace it up yourself. The lacing instructions are in your manual. Take the wheel to any bicycle, moped or motorcycle shop and they will true it for your. This way, not only do you save a **** ton of money, ya learn something!
