I am looking to do a 21" front wheel conversion for my 2010 Heritage, who has the best price and customer service? I also see vendors selling 3", 3.25", and 3.5" wheels, is there much difference in the width and will a 120/70/21 tire fit all three sizes?

I am keeping my stock back wheel but wanted 60 spoke just to help fill the bigger wheel.

Try them. My experience was good. Decent prices, good quality so far and fast shipping for the FAT Spoke wheels. Site allows you to figure pricing too.

I personally like the look of less spokes, i feel like the open space makes the wheel look even larger then it is, and shows off the rim more.

For arguments sake, this time around I went with Ride rite twisted 80s just to see if their quality matches DNA's.

IMO, the bike rides better than stock. My experience was mostly with a 2012 SE Road Glide however. The 21 seemed lighter and easier to maneuver over the stock 19" on that bike. My Deluxe has only been ridden a couple times with it but it feels better to me though I need to get it on the highway to fully evaluate. Most folks here say it rides better. If you lower the front 2" the stance is nearly the same as stock so feeling is same essentially IMO.
