It doesn't look right to me on a Deluxe, either. IMO it looks good on the Softail Standard, Wide Glide, anything with a minimal front fender, just the headlight (no driving lamps/light bar)... in other words, the big front wheel is a classic look and the rest of the bike's gotta complement it. The Deluxe has a classic look, but not in that same way, and the big front wheel looks out of place (especially when the rear is still a stock size 16!)
To the OP a 21" wheel on a King would look sweet..i say do it...

Courtesy aint the issue here, nor is the right to opinion. The OP asked who has a 21 on a RK and asks for pics so he can see. Guys like you oughtta keep your polite negative opinions to yourself. And thats my opinion.

Sweet Dude
Man that bike is fly. I'd pimp the sheet out of that thing.
Yep with a 21" up front it will raise it +1" from stock. So lowering the bike will even it out. Which meens you have to lower the rear also.
Yep looks like $hit doesn't it......And let me tell you at every bike event i go to i get tons of looks with tons of comps....
