I got my new wheel installed today! The laced wheel that came with the bike got a nice sized dent in it somewhere over the last 4 years owning my bike. Aside from a wave in the rim, a handful of my spokes were loose. Realizing the only way to avoid this happening again was to change to a mag wheel, I did just so! I ended up ordering this wheel for the front http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US I was surprised by how good it looks on my bike. I might have to replace the rear rim with the same style in the future.
Been running that on the front for better than 5 yrs now. Too cheap to spend the bucks for the rear - would just be hidden by the bags anyway. Seen a Sporty once that had both - looked good.
If I were to change out my 21" spoker for a mag, the wheel you have is absolutely my personal favorite. I would probably go for the 19" to get more tire options and slightly better handling.

The 19" will not only give you much better handling, it will also typically get 2.5-3 times more tire life.

There is something about having that skinny tire up front that I really liked, so I figured I'd keep the 21".
Edit: It also helped that I got the rim for 360 bucks!
