I came across this thread which helped fuel my desire for a 21" fat spoke front for my 07 FLHX. I called Jireh and they were out of stock for the 21x3.5 single rotor front. (seems fairly common) The lady did say that they were expecting a shipment soon...
Anyway I found one on ebay from a bike shop in Florida which claimed that it was the only one left in stock. I overpaid a bit but got free shipping. 399.00 to my door. I had it installed and it looks absolutely kick-*** In my opinion.
Only issue was a flat due to some adhesive getting pulled up on the rims lip when the tire was installed... After it was reinstalled it has held air fine. I don't have any real miles because it is horrible weather. Here is a few pics hope this helps.
BTW wheels seem to be good quality to my untrained eyes.

It takes a certain bike to pull off the black rim, I think you hit it. Studied the same wheels for a while but chickened out, looks good on your rided

I think it looks great! I don't understand why you have a single rotor. Street Glides come with dual rotors and they make front wheels for dual rotor. Just curious.

The Single Disc was set up when I bought the bike used a few years ago. The guy had a set of Performance machine 18" front and back with a matching single rotor. I don't know why but I never felt the need to switch it back. I just went with this set up because it was pretty much direct replacement.

Check their eBay store too. I bought one already but traded it away when I got my new-to-me front end, wouldn't fit. I looked at the bearings and it was pristine, new and unf*uckered with but it sure was no Timken. I would buy again in 2 seconds but I would pull them apart what I could and check the grease as it seemed a bit dry to my amateur eyes.

I bought two for my 94 Heritage. I picked up one from direct from Jireh and the other from their Ebay store. Great prices.

Is that the stock front fender on your bike with the 21" wheel? If so, what are the tire dimensions numbers for that tire?
