21in front wheel.

  • Without a fender, it should clear just fine at full compression (only 0.8" additional radius).
  • 6.2% more circumference might be pushing the limits of the amount of "error" ABS can handle. Though it would be less, relatively, since the rear wheel he added already has a slightly higher circumference than stock.
  • Caliper and ABS fitment only matter in terms of the wheel's dimensions at their location. The center and spokes could easily be designed to use the stock parts in the stock locations and to clear the calipers. The rim and outer parts of the spokes could flare outward. From the image with the fender removed, there appears to be enough room for the added width between the forks. I presume he's already measured to confirm.
  • It will require about 6% more braking force at the lever, though, to get the same deceleration.
 
looks like he is compensating for the oversized rear wheel he has? it looks like he has bigger rear tire at least from the photo
ahh. the penny dropped I think…
this the bike with grind out swing arm to fit the tire?
If so, I’ll be on my way and good luck with the project.
