Here is a shot of my bike with a 21 front, stock size rear and stock height in the front with 13" rear shocks.

21/16 here on an '08. I didn't lower the front and the only negatives are that I needed to shim the kickstand so it wouldn't lean so far, and backing the bike up is a little harder on soft ground- maybe because of reduced leg reach or maybe geometry, not sure why.
I've been riding with my stock 16 up front for a few weeks while getting my 21" wheel worked on and I really don't like the ride this way. Scraping boards and I feel like I'm being pushed forward.

I used to have a 18 rear 19 front. I switched to a 16 rear and 21 front with legend suspension. I wanted my bike to sit very low when all the air was out I lowered the front suspension with progressive mono shock 1 inch. Drop.

I see no need to shim the kickstand with a 21" front wheel. I have never actually even thought about that.

Thanks guys great info.Hogpro can I safely run a 190 or even a 200 rear Tire on my stock 16 enforcer wheel off a 2014 street glide? Also take a look at the picture of my bikes front fender 19 enforcer wheel,you think i should drill out the rear fender mount 3/8 drillbit to tilt fender forward just a hair? Thanks for the help!

Nice looking bike! I like my bike low, good news for you is you'll never scrape and I bet you could carve it up in the twisties.

On a 14 you need brackets to raise the stock front fender for a 21" wheel. If you can find a 200mm 16" tire it will probably fit. In all honesty I sell very few 16x5.5 rear wheels and when i do I always put a 180 tire on it. On a 17x6.25 you can do a 200 tire.
