Default 21" too much for Ultra

Getting ready to put some new rims on an 07 Ultra. I like the look of the 21 on front, shows more rim even beyond the brake rotors but concerned about handling. I know it is going to ride stiffer and stear different than stock but looking for an "honest, not just cause I bought it" opinion. Keeping tourpack on and ride 2up about 50% of the time. Also gonna put an 18 on rear.
Thanks in Advance!!

just be sure that you get a fatter 21 tire. It will help ride and handling.

This past weekend marathond American Thunder TV show did that exact change. 21/18 on a big HD bagger. Maybe their website can give some answers to your questions.

If you do a Search if will find this Topic already discussed by others, but here goes.
I have the 21x18 setup on my Bike 07 RG, this is the Second Bike that I have put this Setup on I also had it on my 95 Heritage. The Ride is not that much Different and stearing isn't changed much. The Wheels i have are 21x3.25 and 18x4 which is the same width as the Stock Rims the only Difference is the front is Taller. I ride with three other Bikes that have the same setup and we are all Very satisfifed with the ride and handleing
