here are some load ratings of front tires. I believe that most 2009 baggers came with the 130/80-17 front and the 2010 Streetglides/Roadglides come with a 130/70-18. From real world feedback I have rarely heard about issues with the 19" front so if you like that look it is a good combination. Also looking at the diameters the 19" is about 2" smaller in diameter if you like the way the bike sits now that might be a better option.

Dunlop 408 130/80-17- 639 lbs...diameter 25.20"
Dunlop 408 130/70-18- 600 lbs...diameter 25.25"

Metzler ME880 140/70-18- 805 lbs...diameter 25.91"
Metzler ME880 120/70-19- 551 lbs...diameter 25.67"
Metzler ME880 120/70-21- 584 lbs...diameter 27.80"

Nice bike, where did you buy your 130/70/21 from? Ive thinking about putting a 21 on my 09 street glide but i will only do it if i can use a 130 tire. Every one that I talk to says the dont make a 130/70/21.
