I'm guessing the wire harness under the fender. I hate to take it all back off and was hoping someone else had this issue and resolved it. 2007 Street Glide is my model. Thanks NY Mike P!

Your gonna want to to move that harness to the side of the fender. Moving it, might give u enough room not to rub. If it doesnt, then u will have to deal with it or go to a thinner 18" tire. Or go to a 17"

Spent last week at Ocean City Bike Fest. Had the one guy who I let do work on my paint, Dan Kite Pinstriping, add some details to break up all the red. Really like how it turned out.

Here is a pic of the front fender...

Went out Sunday morning for a nice fall 45degree ride to breakfast. After that, went to watch a friends son play his football game. Went to turn bike around on a little incline. Was barely moving. Went to put my right foot down, bike went over a little more than my wife expected. She reacted, though off the balance. Couldn't hold the bike up, I tried like hell. Went over. Slight scratches on bottom of crash bars, also floor board folded up. Nothing more than that, other than hurt pride. Picked back up and continued on. Everyone said you will drop it sooner or later. Guess they were right. Didn't take to much to stand it back up. Maybe it was because I was a little pissed. Wife felt bad about it happening, told her not to worry about it.
