Default Has anyone had 21" wrapped front fender issues?

I heard there might be issues if the rear of the fender is not level to (bottom of) the frame when going over speed bumps, accidentally hitting pot holes, dips in drive ways & entrances/exits, etc.

Anyone experience issues with their wrapped fender? Thanks.

Thanks. That's a pretty low fender (and nice bike).

I guess we'll see how it goes. I just bought a raw, non drilled one for $71.

You will not have any issues with the bottom of the fender hitting on a 21 wrapper. If you hit a pretty good sized pothole I have seen the wrapper fender hit the regulator rectifier on the bottom of the frame. You can fix this by going to progressive's nitrogen charged fork tubes. It takes the dive out of the stock harley front suspension and makes the bike corner better.
