21" 2009 street bob front rim GOT IT ON
Hi I know this subject has been talked about to death but I need some peace of mind with my purchase 
. Today I went and saw my new 21 " rim which will be getting fitted to my original street bob hub ... the story is that here in Australia its quite hard to find a 21 by 3" black rim so I ended up getting a 21 by 3.5" which will be fitted with a 120/70/21 metzler or avon cobra ...anyway this rim looked real wide I mean a little to wide ...for a front rim and tyre..now I feel like its all going wrong .. I've read heaps of great threads here all saying good things about how good it will look and handle ,how its the best thing thats been done on street bobs ..ANYWAY I pretty much asking the guys that do have a 21" rim on their street bob to post some PICS .. so I may find PEACE
with this decision I have made

Here my jerih 21x3.25 with a 120/ Notice the 19 in the SG in the back for a difference!
Here's the clearance!! If you want to keep the fender on you'll have to raise it a little and play with the angle to get it right. I had this set up for a few thousands miles and haven't had any rub issues.

+1 with Jshull. Look at my first pic above. Notice the difference between the 19" and my 21". There's like a 1-2 inch gap between the top of the tire and fender. As for the difference here are a couple more pics.
