If you think going to a 21 raises the front end enough to bother you, just slide the fork tubes up in the triple trees to lower it back down. As it has been stated in many threads, you can still run the stock SB fender with a 120/70/21 tire, which means the difference in radius is not really all that much.

The right-hand slider is the same between the SB and WG (and in fact is the same part #) but the WG (and FB) left-hand slider are dimensionally different than the SB, having the caliper mounting bosses set about 3-4mm *inboard* as compared to the SB LH slider.

So you will need to either install the WG LH slider, or keep the SB sliders and mount the caliper using a few stainless steel washers to space the caliper inboard so it aligns with the rotor.
