harley wheels 4 Years ago  
I have been wanting to put a 21 inch wheel on the front since my stock spokes are so oxidized and nasty and have been told to get a harley wheel and a looney axle kit and make spacers for the brakes... i was wondering if some1 who has done this b4 could give me some more info or directions what to do, and any pictures, closeups of the spacers and the whole set up would be very appreciated
thanks
