I haven't put the front fender back on, but it looks like it will still fit. There was a gap between the fender and the 19" tire.

Yes it does. Harley makes all the Sportster fenders so theyll fit the 19 & 21. Saves $$$

The 21inch looks good, how do you find the handling difference?

seriously thinking of swapping my 21" for a 19 to get better handling and road feel
