So they are definitely different looks like a color matched standard Tequila Fender will need to be ordered to add the 21"

You might could try the Fat Boy fender adaptor kit, P&A Part Number 59013-02A. Looks like it would move a stock fender up about 1". If that works (and it looks like it would) you may not even have to do the "drill the rear mount hole bigger" method.

Might be a worth-while investment (or experiment) for the $70 price of the kit above (at MSRP - 20%).
I'm just completely bummed that the stock Agitator rear rim is only 5.0" wide - so long 200mm rear on the stock rim

Might be a god option I was surprised that no one had this type of product. Apparently someone does. Would be a cheaper investment than a replacement fender. I'll probably order one to see if it fits? this would eliminate the clearance problem.

Definitely wont fit the stock rim and after being underneath to work on the plate frame clearance for the larger rim 200mm is in question as well? 

Not giving up yet but not charging ahead either until confident it will fit without issues!

Obviously to me,  the quest for most of this dialogue is "looks".   Keep in mind,  going with the 21 inch front end (I had one on my Wide Glide) a few yrs ago......plus an extra wide rear tire to boot.  You're comprimising handling and comfort.

So,  as long as you understand that and accept that fact,  go for it.  You will have an attractivek "bar hopper" for sure.   But to go that way with a (Tour model),  will (take away) from what a Tour model is all about.......getting down the road loaded with stuff and being comfortable doing it.

I've got a streetrod with 2" dropped spindles on the  front end,  I can tell ya it looks good,  but be careful turning into an upgrade driveway or ramp as you'll make tire to fender contact and rip off the "snap" holding your "bra" in place.  A buddy also has a new 2010 Road Glide with the (one inch lowered) rear shocks..........does it look cool???

Yes it does.......does he bitch about how it rides compared to his older Road King.........YES he does.  and stock Tour model rear shocks will solve that problem.

So,  as long as you understand the "compromise" of making these changes..................go for it.

Legitimate concerns 

I've ridden an 08 SG with the 21 up front and the 180 kit out back. Lowered the front 2" to regain stock angle and it if it handled any differently than before the wheel mods I couldn't tell. 

Hoping this turns out the same but if not it'll go back to stock size chrome rims. Not a big Agitator rim fan contrast or otherwise.

Fender clearance issue solved with new brackets from Hogpro


Bagger Fender Bracket for 140/70-21 Tire

For those of you that want to put a Metzler 140/70-21 front tire on your Bagger with your stock fender. These chrome billet brackets raise your stock Bagger fender so that the fender clears the 140/70-21 tire. The benefit of the 140/70-21 tire is that it handles better than the 120/70-21 and it has a much higher load rating. The 140/20-21 will raise your front end close to 2" so this is not for everyone. Customers are responsible for their fender to triple trees/crash bar clearances.

Price- $99.95 for the brackets with hardware

Covington makes an adapter to make the stock fender work.  It is like a reverse version sp it is hardly noticeable he made the prototype for my bike so I know he makes one

They havent added it to their site yet but this seems the easiest solution I've seen.

[Bo2484]

[Wheelsnkeels]

I'll keep that in mind its stored for the winter so it'll be March at least before I start into the wheels now.

Makes me twitchy to admit it may be that long

Mi amigo Mark...what are you going to do with the stock rear wheel (black & chrome)?

[lastdegree]

I think that dependent on what type of roads / riding you do it's not going to be too much of an issue and the monotubes will certainly help. 

Looking good so far Wheels

Currently I plan to keep them

[Wheelsnkeels]

Installed the 200mm Rear today still waiting on the front tire? Should be in tomorrow along with the fender adapters as well.

If you could get any bigger in there I dont see how?
