Default 98 Heritage 21" wheel?

Hey guys 18" is as big as I can find for my bike! Is it because a 21" will not fit, or the hub is a different size than the later year models??? Lost at this point. I just want a 21" on the front!

Even with a low profile tire I think 18 is the biggest wheel you can run "comfortably" under your stock fender, maybe 19".
The taller wheels are mostly made for newer bikes so then yes the newer 1" hubs vs. your 3/4" Evo era setup will need to be modified. Not saying you can't go 21" out front but you will need to find wheels you like then contact the company and tell them what you got.
1998' does this have the speedo drive off the front? Or is it tranny driven?

I'm not sure this is my first Evo bike. I didn't do a thing to my 05 deluxe but slap a big wheel on there. Surely someone has done this on a Evo Softail!

I have a 95 heritage and I put 21" front wheel with no modifications to it and it fits perfect.

21" will fit fine. What kind of wheel are you looking for?

frt brake rotors are different on 99 and older bikes, they can be machined out to fit on newer rims, I did it one mine a few years back
