Hey Tex, That's a SWEET TRAIN!! I have some apes on my Train that look just like those except mine don't have the gussetts or what ever you call them. I had BR Customs make them.

I've got a 21x3.5 with a 120 on the front of mine. The stock fender will not work, it's too narrow.

The larger tire makes a world of difference on bad pavement.

I bought one of those 210's ,I didn't get it on yet. Glad to know it will fit & looks like it makes a pretty good difference to boot!
