A couple of things will help raise up the rear end of the bike if you go with the 21" front wheel. The progressive 465 shock makes the bike taller and of course a nice set of knobbies will also help. I have a 19" front wheel but the bike went from a 31.3 standover to 32 1/2 by doing this. Also, one dumb design thing on this bike is the centerstand bracket hands below the skid plate. If you had that cut off you'd gain another 1 1/2" or so.
