how will a 21" skinny front tire change the handling??
Dyna Glide ModelsSuper Glide, Super Glide Sport, Super Glide Custom, Dyna Glide Convertible, Super Glide T-Sport, Dyna Glide Police, Dyna Switchback, Low Rider, Street Bob, Fat Bob and Wide Glide.
you'll see more of a difference from tire selection than width of the front tire. The 19 has a 100 width tire, put a 90/90 on the 21 and you have a measly 10mm of difference. try and avon or metzeler and you won't track rain grooves or ruts at all.
I have ran a 21" front my entire Harley "and Honda chopper" life and have loved them. This Streetbob was the first bike I have owned that had a 19". When I switched to the wideglide front and 21" wheel I have not noticed any difference. Like most everyone else has said it's all about which tire you mount on it.
Whatever you decide to do it's good to see that you have an assistant to hold the bike up when working on it!

Skinny tire might look good in most places.... but not sure how good it would look in these places......
