    Hey guys.......

    The '87 FXST Softail I've just bought has a 16 inch front wheel fitted and I'd like to change it back to what I believe should be a 21 inch.  Is anyone able to tell me the axle diameter for the '87?  I am looking at a 21 inch from a '12 model which has what appears to be a 1 inch axle.  

    Failing that, anyone know where I might get a 21 inch wheel that will for the '87?  I'm gonna need a front fender as well, but I think that will be an easier task.

    Cheers
