21" Wheel on Touring
#11
The kit includes suspension. So HD lowers the suspension.

I have perused and searched the "Wheels and Tires" section of the forum, but was unable to find any threads regarding this, so I decided to try here.
I am considering going to a 21" wheel on my 2107 RG and was wondering if anyone has done this, and if so, what are your thoughts. Most of what I have been able to find dealt with going to a 21" wheel on the old touring models when they came with a 18" stock front wheel.
How is the handling at low and higher speeds?
Would I have to lower my front forks?
I don't have ABS, so I assume I will be OK in that area.
Are there any other considerations to be aware of? I don't want to start a project that is going to end up costing more than I originally anticipated.
Thanks to all for your thoughts and experience in this matter.

First, I want to thank everyone who responded for their suggestions, experience, and comments regarding the 21" front wheel. I did some additional research and called the company that I am purchasing the wheels from (Southern Machine). The salesman at SM told me from his experience, he did not feel that I would need to lower/add any kits to the front end. He said with the set up I have ordered, to include a front tire, the ride height on my RG would only be raised by 1/4".
I am going to try this set up with the stock front end and go from there. Also, speaking to the techs at the HD dealership, they did not see the need to add any suspension components with the 21" wheel.
Thanks again to those who responded. I will post pictures when everything gets installed.
