Just trying to get a feel for how many of you have 21" wheels (and what you did with your front fender...)

Call FBI and be done with it.

first tape 2 washers to the inside of the fender,&nbsp\\;mount the tire and wheel and make sure it doesn't rub, if it does, take the fender off, drill out the back holes on each side and **** the fender forward. drill out the holes 1/8" works every time

i actually did something similiar to jtjt, but i mounted the tire first then taped three washers to the tire and spun it. it didn't rub so i didn't do anything to the fender.

Every bike is different, on mine when I mounted the 21, I couldn't even spin the tire because it was rubbing.&nbsp\\; I taped a nut to the tire, and drilled out the rear mounting holes tipping the fender forward till it cleared.

I had the same experience as Flyboy, only I couldn't get the rear fender holes hogged out enought to clear, so I welded in a set of Native Custom Baggers brackets. All is good now.

Every bike is different!
