Default 21 " Front Wheel
I'm going to put a 21" x 3" wheel on the front of my 2007 Roadking Custom. Does the stock fender have to be modified or will it work like it is? Thanks,

I believe you can, but UltraKla$$ic or Leo will chime in here shortly and give you the real poop on what needs to be done. Nice looking King btw.

You need to drill out the rear hole and raise it a bit.

Do you use the same hole size bit or one a little smaller?

I didn't worry about making the hole oblong. I drilled the hole out using the next size bigger bit three times. Then held the back of the fender up when I tightened it up. Plenty of room.
