You know I think that the tire calculater isn't right. That 21” tire is around 5” taller than the stocker when I put them side by side. So now im gunna have to put the new and old tire next to each other and see if those are close to each other. Maybe I can just raise the front 1” and keep my progresive springs.

If your running 120/70-21 now and stock is 130/90-16.... then your new 21 front is 2.4" taller then the 16 front. There is 5in difference in wheel height, but you lose some of that by running the lower profile tire.

The big 140 that I run is 5" taller than stock. Doc is right, you are like 2" over stock.

Different brand tires have different ODs. Check around and you can find what you have on the bike. You differently sound nose low.
