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

After researching these further with Hogpro these brackets will not work for the CVO Street Glide fenders

The CVO SESG fenders are 3/4 of an inch shorter in the radius than the stock Street Glide fender.

You may want to get your ABS re-calibrated.  According to the manual, if you change the size of the tires/wheels to different than OEM, it can throw the ABS calibration off and the ABS may not function properly if applied.

Worked fine today, but will keep it in mind I've read similar statements.

The abs signal comes from the bearings and they are a constant size, thus the tire/wheel size in theory should not have an effect.

I also read that the ABS had to be recalibrated if you bled the brakes, this also has not been the case in my experience.

Ok the discovery continues recieved the brackets from Covington Customs for the "CVO Street Glide" These will not wrok either.

The CVO Fender radius is 3/4 inch shorter and theses brackets raise it 3/4" so they will raise it to the stock fender height.

The Dunlop 130/70B18 rotational diameter is 25.32"

So if the rear fender hole is drilled to 3/8" and these brackets are used a 120/70/21 should be able to be installed with these.

As usual I wish to be difficult and want to use the wider (and 1.1" taller) 140/70/21 rotational diameter 29.09". Rotational diameter difference is 1.885"

The 1.885 plus the fender difference of .75 equals 2.635 total difference.

I am now seeking a bracket to allow clearance and probably will have to make one.

Will call Covington next week (They contacted me today saying they do not offer a solution  ) and maybe drive over to Bad Dad in Ft Wayne to see if they can assist.

May or may not work, have you seen the 21" wheel adapter for front fender from Battistini's - not sure if it's the look you want.  Have seen one and they look cool.   

Cheers and keep modding!

Wheels, i am glad to see you are being difficult, at least I am not the only one!

[Wheelsnkeels]

The wheels are now on 

[Wheelsnkeels]

The ride is the same as before with the Metzeler 140/70 21 tire 
Never horts to have a little more tire

Still incomplete, The pictures are with the fender sitting on the tire. I still have to have brackets fabricated to mount it.

The brackets need to be 2.125" tall center to center and 3" wide center to center. This will allow just over .25" clearance at the tightest point.

Noone offer such a bracket if it was a standard fender instead of the slammed SESG it would still need to be 1.35" these are not available either.

As the 140 tire increases in popularity I am sure someone will start to produce them.

Looking good as always Wheels!  I need a better shot of the front wheel.  I keep saying I am going to ride out to meet you but I keep waiting for you to finish everything so I can see it all and then you start something else!

[Wheelsnkeels]

Sorry but once the fender is mounted I'll be about finished for 2010 ?  

Maybe we can still get together before the snow starts flying

I blame it all on JCZ
