21'' rim was created by Ogcoda
So I'd like to throw a 21" rim on my 78 kz1000. I have seen xs650 guys do it by lacing a 21" rim to there existing hub. But they have clever sites like Mikesxs.com that sells the rim and 21" long spokes. I'd really like to find a way of doing this without modifying the forks/axle. I figured I'd come to the gurus with this one.

wont work with stock fender in stock location. You would have to raise fender about 2-inches, maybe more.

Im running a 19" rim with a 100 x 90 tire in stock form and Im maxed out as my clearance is under 3/8 of an inch.

Sorry Should have been more clear... my bike is pretty far from stock. Not really worried about it hitting my front fender.... cuz my front fender is on my back tire.... hahaha :P

Pretty sure Wireman already gave you the answer you were looking for. If Buchanans doesn't have the spokes I believe they can custom make them.
