Default wider wheel/tire on night train front

Asked this in the softail section but didn't really get an answer. Does anyone know what the widest front wheel & tire I can put on a 06 Night Train without changing the front fender? The 21 x 2.15 is too skinny in my opinion, visually, but I don't want to go thru having to paint a new fender to change to a fatter wheel/tire. I would like to stay with a 21" though. I don't want to go fenderless on the front which is about the only answer I got.

The next size up is a 21 x 3.25" wheel with a 120/70-21 tire. You can not use your stock fender for that size wheel/tire so you will have to get a new fender that can fit a 120/70-21 front tire. If you don't want to change your fender or go fenderless then you are stuck with that 21 x 2.15" and 90/90-21 tire.

I nearly bought a Nightrain from HD Dublin that they had added a black Fatboy wheel to the front - It really looked smart to be very honest - If I can find the pic I will post it for you
