I have an 07 america...i'm interested in finding a 21 inch front wheel. If anyone can help me I would be grateful, either a harley fitment or custom made will work. I'm sort of lost on this subject due to limited supplies on the triumphs. thanks

Why horse around trying to get a Harley wheel to fit. Find yourself a spoked America hub or a complete wheel, buy a suitable 21" rim and spokes, have it laced or lace it yourself. Put it on and ride. Ebay has them occasionally and do a WTB in the classifieds here, something will turn up, you gotta have patience.

Here are my thoughts......
Do what Ryk and roadworthy said or swap your entire front end out for an hd- you'll need to have a new stem made but you could possibly get away a bit cheaper- hd front ends can be picked up cheap at swap meets- last month i picked up a 35mm super glide fronted with a 21 on it for 80 bucks- deals are out there, just gotta be patient-

If you do go the america hub route, they are 36 spoke- keep that in mind when buying a hoop-

I have a sporty front end out in my shed. Been saving it for my 71 tiger project but now I'm curious. I'll have to spec it out when the weather gets a bit nicer and I can get to the shed since we got that 2 feet of snow, boo.

I'd like to see a narrow glide put on a stock framed bike-
