I have a 21" front with the stock rear on now, and also stretched bags. You can't see much of the rear, but I'm still going to change it. I'm going to either chrome my rear or go with a solid chrome rear, cost a little less than a matching wheel, and if I ever want to change the front, I'm still in good shape.

I looked at the "Smoothie" from RC components and that sucker in a 16" cost as much as a matching 17" Coastal Moto wheel. SMH.

Most of my customers who order a set with a 21" on the front for a newer bagger get the 17x6.25 for the rear with the 200 tire for the simple reason that this will leave you at the same height as the stock 16x5 rear with the 180 tire.

You can also do the 18x5.5 with a 180 tire which will sit the rear of the bike about 3/4" higher than stock.
