Default 21" wheel

I have a 2003 FLHTI Electra Glide Standard and I recently purchased a 21" front wheel. I was told that I have to install a fender relocator bracket or the tire would rub. Any tips on this?

From what I've read the overall diameter of your wheel means there is a risk of the tyre rubbing, which can happen as the tyre grows at speed. Best to call into the Touring forum, where you should get more help.

Ya don't need a bracket, Just elongate rear mounting holes and rotate fender up in rear. Tape a 3/8 nut to tire and rotate fender til it clears.

I don't think there is any such thing! Read post #3, which is very easy to do.
