HDs with forks, brakes and shocks by Showa commonly use Japan sourced wheel parts. Including the axle and bearings. Not sure about now, but Showa used to be a division of Honda.
21" wheels are most commonly found in narrow or mid glide front ends, were also available for the FX Softail Springer. The 21" I test fit to my bike came off a Panhead with an older springer, pre 1948. The hub had a lion for a maker's mark. Very rare, very expensive, more of a collector's item than a viable wheel, even though it did have a grease fitting for easy bearing service.

The Honda Shadow Spirit 750 comes with a 21 inch front wheel. I believe it is a 90/90-21.

Also look for Kawasaki VN800A front ends and wheels. Stock tire is an 80/90-21. And the forks are really well made, with a really decent brake.
Mine was a 1999 model that I put 40K + miles on in 18 months.
