I just got done with most of my winter mods.. this included going with a 21" wheel. So far I couldn't be happier. At slow speeds there is no difference in handling. Can't tell if it's heavier or lighter.. on the other hand, on mid-speed twisty roads it feels a bit lighter, which I like. Handlebar feels a bit lighter and allows me to lean easily into turns.. on highway speeds it still feels planted and handling doesn't seem different even when hitting bumps, pot holes, etc. There's no high speed wobble at all. My 16 breakout with the higher rake and 21 wheel would wobble after hitting highway bumps.. not this guy.
As for the wheel, I went with Madwheels. They make the "reinforcer" wheel that is an exact match with the stock but in 21" This eliminates the need to swap out the rear.
New wheel comes balanced and ready to mount and includes fender spacers. It's ABS compatible so no modules or anything else is needed. It does not come with rotors so you do have to transfer the stock rotors onto the new wheel. Simple install. Very happy. I can post pics later when I get home tonight.
