Default Lowering front fender on 07 SB
Hi does anyone know if it's possible to lower the stock front fender on a 07 Street Bob and if so how can I do it ? I really hate the look of the big gap between the fender and the tire.

Default gap
Dont know if you can lower it but my solution to the same problem was picking up a beat up 21" off a sporty having it relaced to my hub and powdercoated it. It still handles good and looks ALOT better.

Elongate the holes in the fender with a file.

I drilled new holes. The new holes are in the radius part of the mounting bracket so longer bolts wouldn't hurt.

2007 is the last year for the "off road" front fender, so try to find a '08 or younger one, problem solved...

'07 is also the last year were you can put a "21 under the OEM fender...
