Default New front fender and tire question.

I am planning on changing out my front tire and fender set up on my 2013 wide glide over the winter.

I want to switch to 120 front tire on my stock 21" rim, and put on a KustomWerks Long Boy front fender (or something very similar if i can find the same look and not have to use spacers to fit the wide glide front end).

Does anyone have any tire recommendations? (Pirelli Night Dragon, Avon Cobra, Metzler)

Other question in regards to the fender: Probably a safer bet for me to get a 5.5" wide fender as opposed to the 4.75" one with a 120 tire right? 120 would only give me less than .03 of an inch/less than 1mm room between tire and fender. I like when the fender looks like it's perfectly wrapped around the tire but the smallest rock could jam up in there.

I like Powder Joes front tire and rim combo, just don't know how to tag him in this to ask him his suggestions as well.

thanks everyone

Not sure if you saw the message that i sent but your stock rim will not take a 120, you have a 2.25 or a 1.85 i can not recall you need to go way bigger 3.35-3.5 to fit that
