Your bike is Vivid Black.The guy that sold you the fender must have assumed you were keeping the 16" wheels.I have 16" on mine and did lower the fender closer to the tire.If you're going with a 21" you are not going to need to lower the fender.It should fit just right,but I have heard of guys who had to enlarge the mounting holes so they could raise the fender a little to get the 21" under there.Check out Anubisss bike he has the same set up on the front that I think you're talking about

I am doing the same thing to my 02 Fatboy. I have installed FXST lowers. I was gonna chrome them out anyways, just went ahead and got the FXST ones. This raises the fender mounts on the forks and allows a 21" wheel on the front. Mine was already lowered 1 inch so the cowbells overlap perfectly. Ordered my wheels yesterday so I dont have any pics yet.
