Man that looks pretty tight. Did the tire Mfg. provide any data on the projected centrifugal growth of the tire under load?

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

You should be golden. 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.

Looks like the tread pattern is so blocky that it'll bump up & down just goin down the road, but the whole job looks good.

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!

Don't worry,... it'll only rub for a while....
...parts make their own clearance eventually...

Well... usually people post videos of them running circles around the wife with a camera, or cheesy high speed drive-bys... I picked something totally different

And yeah, the tire doesn't strech nor rub, even at 100km/h. We'll see about higher speeds soon. Runs very well with tall rear tire. I need to design a seat over winter.
