Default Could you guys with 21" front wheels do me a favor?

I have been searching for a view from straight forward at the front tire under the fender of a bike with a 21" front. These all look great from the side, but I would like to see how wide it is compared to the 16" stock since the heritage fender is so wide.

Also, I am looking to find how "tall" the 16" vs 21" tire inflated on the rim. I have lowered my front fender and want to see how much taller the 21" is. If someone has both sizes and could post a pic side by side it might help.

Hopefully my request make sense! Thanks guys

Hi dusty,

I don't know if this is what you want, but you can see the gallery of my bike, which have a photo of the front wheel as you have said, in my personal blog:

Is there a "conversion kit" for it? Plenty of nice rims available in the 16" size but I suppose anything will fit if you make it but I would be leery about changing the tire to a 21" from the 16": I put FB cast rims on my '97 FLSTC and it has a "shimmy" at 35 mph which was way worse with a tool bag on the windshield {removed bag because of}. Heritage's are very "touchy" about front end mods and weight...

Not an upgrade kit, just changing size. I'm refering to Dinger, Anubiss, JayDee, MIMO, all these guys have changed sizes. Check out their pics to see it.
