I can't say for sure on your bike but I have switched to a 21" on a few bikes one from a 19 to a 21 on my Sporty and my bike now which is a softail a 16 to a 21. Only thing I'm having to change on this one is the spacers and would need a different fender depending what size wheel you have now.

you will be fine. I have that on my daily rider which is a 08 street glide. I am about to lower the front end 1.5" to give it a better stance and to lower the front end a bit.

Sweet.. Thanks for your replys. I am planning on putting a after market fender on. What did you guys do with you rotors, calipers, and forks?

I usually switch mine to a single disk set up. You will lose some braking power, but you will adjust your riding pretty quick. It still does a good job stopping the bike and you can't beat the look of the open right side.

How much money am I looking at to do the single rotor setup? Also what about the hiddne axle kit? Is is better to go with HD chrome lowers or a after market product? It seems like any place that sells wheels has chrome kits... I want a good qaulity product but I don't want to break the bank either..... Any info is good. I have never done this before. I was thinking about the Renegade "Spearfish" and a Klock Werks fender... Every time I look though it changes... Would I be better off going with a 19 inch wheel instead if I leave the back stock?

there is American suspension and arlen ness lowers - i like the arlen ness setup better cause it allow you you to goto a dual setup if needed (has removable brake mount/filler plate). ill be running ness lowers with 13" single setup - pm 6 piston caliper, just waiting for rims to come in so i can assemble.

or native baggers sells stock lower legs already shaved if you want something turn key.
