I had to "drill out" the rear mounting holes. Do a search, this question has been asked no less than 500 times.

ya make sure u "rock" the fender forward or it will rub slightly on the backside of your fender, and it could bubble your paint...

Had the dealer put a 21" on my 09 street glide at pick up and it fits just fine.

at High Speeds it may hit in the Back so open up the rear holes a little and lift the rear of the fender

Alot depends on the rubber you be running,most that run a 21 incher need to rotate the fender slightly as described above.Tape a 3/8th width nut around wheel at tires highest point,give it a spin.Mine touched only slightly yet elongated fender until no rub was heard.Like others have said some tires grow as speed/temps increase,why waste a good paint job?

Thanks for all the help fellas. I thought for sure it would have been here today. Everytime I saw the brown truck... I knew it was gonna be for me. How much did the dealer charge you for the install crp5?
