Default 21/18 on 03 Electra glide.

This winter I am putting 21/18 Glenndyne G4 wheels on my 03 Electra Glide.

I am currently on stock rear and 19" Agitator front.
Rear is 13" shocks with 2" lowering blocks. Front is stock height.

From what I can see the 21 raises the front just under 2". So if I lower the front 2" with a drop in progressive kit (stock mono-tube) do I need to worry the trees smashing the fender?

The 120/70-21 should only raise the front an inch from the stock 16" tire's ride height

Default 21in front 16 in rear tire

Just recently changed my front tire to a 21 in. Droped tbe rear 1.5 inches with progressive 444 and the front 2 inches with the progressive lowering kit. The bike handles so much better.

ok guys I might have a possible dilemma...on a 15 cvo ultra that had real spungee front end
installed progressive rear springs 1"drop
installed a 21" wheel which raised front end 1.5"
had to install front fender riser/spacers to fit 21" only once did it hit fender on a really bad speed bump (my fault)
had wobble
installed steering damper
way less wobble
installed Progressive mono shock tube w 2" drop so I can get it as close to even lowering front and rear and it looks great feels like a firm front end / the forks don't compress like the old ones do and going to test ride it tomorrow BUT
now front fender looks like its wayyyyy too close..so
bought a new aftermarket 21" fender but holes don't line up so before I make the holes wider and paint it
was thinking about just buying HADA oem front fender hugger it reads for 180 degree coverage of 17" 18" 19" wheels wondering if anyone has tried it with a 21" yet.

Thanks
Can of worms

How wide are the 18" tires do you plan to use on your project? I would like to see how wide of a tire that will fit within the stock rear swing arm.
