I've been giving that some thought as well. I am considering going with a larger front tire/wheel, that would fill it in better. Maybe you should consider that as well? I like the way those spoke covers turned out. How would you rate those things?

+1 with don... but you can use a ext cord, tape that to the tire, then drop the fender to that, mark the holes, drill, and cut...
i did it a long time ago with a fat bob lid mounted to the stock bob brackets. looked way better if you ask me

21" does the lowering of the fender automatically. See my sig pic.

However, I would do that ext cord trick and lower the fender over the stock tire. Or just run no fender at all. That looks good too.
