Default Rim Swap ???

Hello All,
I'm new to this forum, glad to be here , I hope you can help this newbee
just a quick question for all you veteran part swappers,
and knwledgable wrenchers ...............
I want to change the front 19 inch mag on my 85 FXSB.
I want to go to a 21 inch 40 spoke rim.[8D]

my question is what all will fit this narrow front end and axle size?

( I assume ) it is the same front end as ALL? FX's and sporty's?

who knows of all the axle sixes i am reading about? 5/8? 3/4? 1 inch?

will a rim from a 97 FXSTC fit? be the same specs?( width and axle )

what the heck fits what???????.................. HELP[:@] ( smile )

thanks for all who help me out.
John

Wheels should be interchangeable within bike 'families', like Softail-to-Softail, Dyna-to Dyna, etc. also within the same generation. There may be some additional possibilities, too, with front wheels. The other option is the aftermarket. Black Bike in SoCal makes very high quality spoked wheels. They're Exile's wheel supplier, and I have 'em on mine.
