Default klock werks wrap front fender
I just bought a wrap front fender for my road king. I was wondering if it is possible or has anyone done it. I would like to lower the fender some so less sidewall is showing. It seems that there is room.

Any pics would help.

thanks

I have the Klock Werks Level front fender.

Not sure I would lower it, if I did I wouldn't lower it much.

Keep in mind you need a minimum 1/4 to 3/8 inch clearance for tire growth at higher speeds. I have seen paint burned on fenders from the tire growing and rubbing inside the fender.

If you lower it be very careful.

Not much clearance for lowering with stock rim diameter and rubber. Here's mine. Just clears chock on my condor in the garage and kendon trailer.

Yea that looks way too high. Even if you drill new mounting holes to lower that fender, you'd be able to see the original holes. Maybe you need different mounting brackets?

i think I am going to have my nephew who does fab work trim some of the side mounting bracket and drill new holes. I knew it could be lowered. Dont you think that looks way high.

Here is another 18 inch wheel with same fender. I was wanting that look.

You sure you bought the right fender? They make one for the stock sizes, and a different for 21" wheels. Looks to me you got the 21" version.

Here's mine on a 19" wheel:

I have to believe people are trimming that mounting tab and drilling new holes.
