21" on a 2014
was looking at the new bikes yesterday and realized if you put a 21" wheel on the front of a 14 streetglide you can't drill the mounting holes on the rear of the fender because they have a weld nut in them now. i don't know if a person could drill out the weld nut or not and make it work. a friend is going to go for it in a few days, we will see how it goes.

From what I have heard you cannot as the fender has shorter mounting brackets like the CVO fenders from years past. We are yet to avhe a 14 in here to verify but you will need some brackets to raise that front fender now since Harley saw fit to put the "lowered" fender on the new bikes.

Don't like 21s on an FL front end anyway; too "trendy" & yuppie-ish, & just looks wrong with that big fender on a skinny tire. An FL front end was meant to sport a 16, nothing else looks right, IMHO. 'Course, Dickey doesn't like most "trendy" things, anyway.
Looks like a large size condom on a small pecker.

That 19" front and the thinner rotor looks great, would not mind at all to put it on my 12 SG...

I don't see how the linked brakes have anything to do with raising the fender. Who told you that? The dealer? Please let me know I need all teh info I can get on this. I have customers who want 21"'s for their '14 models lined up and waiting.
