Default 21" wheel, 40 or 60 spoke on 2011 Heritage Classic?

Trying to decide whether to stay with the OE look of 40 spoke when switching to a 21" front wheel or to go with a 60 spoke wheel. Going with a 21 x 3" wheel and a 120/70-21 wide white tire.

Opinion, pics, photoshop, all welcome.


Thanks in advance.

If you are going to keep the stock 40 spoke rear I would stick with a 40 spoke front IMHO.

I vote 60.. I think the big 21" looks goofy doing the 40 spokes because then the 16" looks busy. 60/21-40/16 is a good match

I say 40 spoke to retain the old school look of the Heritage, especially if you aren't changing the rear wheel.

I agree with Regal on this. 60 on the front with the 21.

Go 40... looks classic and matches the rear as others have said.
