I wanted a fender that snugged up to the tire better than the stock one, and I didn't think the stock one would work with the larger wheel/tire. Regardless, I thought it would look silly even if it did work. In hindsight, I do kinda wish I'd gone with a 19" wheel/tire in order to get the bike lower without sacrificing suspension travel. Who knows, I've got a spare rear wheel, I might just sell the set and pony up for a new fender.
Then again, I like the look of the 21 up there, so who knows......

Do you have any photos posted anywhere of your front end so I can see how the 120 looks under a stock Nightrain fender? Have you ever noticed any touching of the tire to the fender on really bumpy conditions?

convert from a 21" to a 16" front wheel
thought about changing mine last year and went straigh to a 16". had to have some new spacers fitted, the front caliper moved slightly and a new fender made up (stock from a sporster, cut lengthways and a section added). Rides much better. I run Avon Venom's front and rear.

Russell, I am going to go with chrome wheels since I have a Standard. I'm also leaning towards getting away from the spoke wheel in the front. I've always liked the look of them, but don't like the hassle when cleaning them.
Warwick, thanks for taking the time to post.
