120/21 -fender mount extension?
Hi,
I'm thinking about going to a 120/70/21 on my 94 FXSTC. My only concern right now is the front fender, it's gonna be tight and I don't want to ride with out one. Replacing it would be very costly due to the repainting costs, I have an unusual color.
Does anyone make some sort of plate to extend the fender mounts up a little? I've been looking and not found anything.
Any other ideas on how to get this tire under a stock fender?
Thanks
Doug

I put a 120/70/21 on a 21/2.15 wheel and it fit with the stock fender,It was VERY TIGHT. I got a new 3.5 wheel and it wouldn't even come close to fitting. The fender was about a inch and a half from coming down to the mounting holes on the forks ,-it was sitting on the tire. With the wider wheel the tire spreads out big time

Dennyo,
Thanks to you and your avitar for the pics, that 90/90 looks real tight with the stock fender . To be honest it looks like a road pebble would get stuck in that new fender,why did you make it so tight to the tire?
If I had a black bike I'd just replace the fender but mine is 2-tone plus two pin stripes.

Chad,
I didn't know you could get it on that narrow of a wheel, how did it ride and look. What kind of tire did you go with?
Thanks

It went on, it wasnt easy, it rode fine.The thing is it doesnt look near as wide on a 2.15. because it isnt. On my 3.5 wheel it looks good . I bought a shinko tire they are cheap and sticky.All the sport bike riders around here swear by them.
