Just rechecked. There's about 2cm space infront. Plenty. Around 4mm on the right and more than an inch to the left. Now, clearance to the belt is about 2mm cca. I think there's no way it stretches that far. Another famous last sentence Wink

If you've got 2cm in front (~3/4") that will be plenty. Just watch how you mount your fender. I wouldn't worry much about the sides as long as they clear.

This is a Continental street tire sold as direct replacement for Honda Shadow. May look rough on the pic, but it's more meat than grooves in nature.

Yup, erlytimz, have enough space for fender bracket and fender up front. Not worried at all. (and another famous last sentence, hahaha). Front is a 90/90R19 Avon. Should cut curves like a knife! working on wiring now, need another week or two, and then the great reveal!
