if your talking about your 09, the 21" will work if you have a 21" wrapper fender. or u can oblong the current holes and tip the fender forward (raise the back) and it will work. the also offer spacer kits too. Arlen ness is the cheapest i found. 14 and ups the only way to do it is with the riser kit. 14 and up fenders have the nuts welded on the fender where as 13 and down had a bolt and a nut....hope i helped and didnt confuse you..

There are some aftermarket Heritage/Touring style front fenders made to fit the Wide Glide & Softail Custom forks.

Be careful in choosing your fender and tire. Many wrappers will only for a 120 not a 130

If you want your Rake and Trail to stay the same, the front forks need a 1 inch lowering set up.

ETA- the 19" wheel & tire is right at 1" taller than the 16". Your 19" should fit with that fender.
