A 21" front wheel will fit without any modification at all. No need to change the fender unless you want to.
21"x3.5" with a 120/70-21 Tire is the way to go.
RE: 21"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; wheel on 08 Fatboy
there is a raw metal heritage fender on ebay for $75 it says \\; Fits: (1986-2006) Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage &\\; Fat Boy models you think it will fit an 08 fatboy? will I need to get front fender blocks? \\; \\;
where can I find a fender that will fit? anyone here done it?
I saw a pic of a fatty with a 21" on it looks badass. it might be my next project, if I can find the parts.

I agree. \\; I think you need to raise the front fender up on a stock FB fender to fit a 21. \\; But if you use a deluxe/heritage front fender, \\; it will fit right in with no mods.
