I went with a 1 inch rise on the front fender as to the experienced advice of this threads author.

Oh and I used a dremel to make the new mounting holes. It would be easy to slip a drill and break the plastic fender. Otherwise measure and mark twice so as to dremel once.
The mod was easy.
I don't see any reason to fear doing it.
The only issue, if you can call it that, is you have an unused set of holes in the fender. But they aren't very visible.
I highly recommend.
Ride is good and it feels more stable leaned over.
In fact. You can feel the added height more in hard cornering. I used to scrape pegs occasionally. Now I don't.
And to me. JMHO. The oversized front and rear make the bike feel more sure footed.
