Adjust front fender on 05 FLSTFI

I want to lower my front fender to create a tighter / closer fit on my bike.
Looking at it it looks to me like I can just remove it and redrill holes 1/2 inch highter on the fender to lower it on the bike. Also how much clearance is needed between the fender and tire to be safe?
Has anyone done this ?
Thanks in advance for any feed back.

I slammed my heritage fender. I took the fender off the bike, cut the stock mounting brackets off just inside the fender, taped a 3/4 (approx) waterhose to the top of the tire to make some clearance, then got the fender in position, redrilled holes, done.
It's a little time consuming to get the fender straight and center, but it can be done. Check out the pics in my gallery, you can see how slammed it is.
