All depends on whether you will run a fender or not and which one if you do.
Are you adding the brace for looks or performance? If you have a 49 mm front end, you will not see any noticeable difference with the brace.

Yes, stock fender fits same with 21", no mods needed. Fork brace goes over the top of the fender so no issues.
