Take a look at this thread and at Malingerer bike. Looks killer 21x3.5 and 18x4.25 with a 150mm rear wheel. White walls from db

Malingerer's looks amazing and good luck on your project.

do I have to change anything or it's just a direct fit?

and here's another point for the black walls and for the Avons as well.

after all I'm gonna do the following:
-18X3.5 if it's a direct application with the 21X3.5 all from RWW, Fat Daddy 50 normal spokes in chrome.
-Polished spoke rotors from RWW.
-Avon 120/70-18 and whatever matching size on the rear tire.
-will change the bike's current color kit that is in Silver & Blue with a black color kit that I've just received.
-Samson Cholos 39". received already.
-16" Wild One Chubby ape hanger and S/S braided cables and extensions. will have to order them today or tomorrow.
-Some black touches from Arlen Ness on the grips, shifter pegs, point cover, derby cover & horn cover.
-Le Pera bare bones solo seat. ordered already.
-Uninstall the front and rear fender rails along with the rear mud flapper & front wheel hub cap.

current bike's look:

I will probably do a thin coat of WW paint for cosmetic appearance this spring. If there isnt anything out when this tire is done I will probably go DB but it doesnt make sense to spend the money now when Im rolling on solid rubber. The bike looks nice but in the end it is for riding...I got a cousin with a brown snagle-tooth but it dont stop him from eating.

It should bolt right on. Just make sure to let ride Wright know year and model of your bike. There is not a major tire manufacturer that plans on making a 21" whitewall in the 120 width either. Us softail guys have done much research on the subject.
