Default Do I need to buy a new front fender?
I have a 2007 FLHX that my son-in-law is painting for me, now that I have everything torn apart I've been looking at new rims. I want to leave the 16" on the rear and want to put a 18" on the front and wasn't for sure if I would need to purchase a new fender as I would if I was going with a 21".....thank you

No new fender needed...the original 16" and 18" are virtually the same outside diameter.

You don't even need a new fender if you are going to a 21" wheel, you will be fine...
