Looking for 21 inch front rim for my 92 VS800.
I hit a good NY pot hole and bent it.
It’s been two weeks and I need to ride
Thank you.

21" rims are hard to find and expensive.
The good news is you can use any year 19" front VS800 or S50 rim, which are more plentiful.

Thanks for the info Navigator
I really want to replace with the 21 but yes they are hard to find.
What would be the difference in mounting if any at all?
Any downside to using 19”?

Why not get a new 21" rim re-laced on to your existing wheel?
Your local Harley shop will probably know a few places.

Either the 19 or 21 will bolt into place, same caliper and spacer, no issues.
The 100/90-19 and the 80/90-21 have nearly the same rolling radius, so the speedometer won't be an issue.
The 19" is obviously a fatter tire.
