Default Fat Bob custom rear fender......Verdict ?

Finally got round to fitting my DIY fender. This is a standard lowrider fender with a tail welded to it. I recessed the plate and fitted the teardrop led light.
&nbsp\\;
After all the time and effort I put into it and always griping about the original now that I see it on I DONT KNOW !!!!
&nbsp\\;
I love the light though and will probably make up a rack the same as I did in my sig pic with the solo seat . Or think it might suit a vrod mini back pad with the original seat.
&nbsp\\;
Anyway ..verdicts and comments welcome.
&nbsp\\;
With Standard Seat......

&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
With Sundowner solo.....
&nbsp\\;

Looks good.&nbsp\\; When I got mine, I wasn't sure about the bob'd tail, but I've come to like it and think I'll keep it!

I actually just ordered the wideglide bobtail fender from harley painted to match for my 07 Street Bob, It looks good but ive come to like the bobtail (especially on the FatBob) like everything else to each his own. Was the lowrider fender narrower than the fat bob fender? Also, what is that tailight you have mounted in the original bobtail fender...would love something like that on the new fender im waiting for.

I like the look of the mudguard but I'm not too sure about the tail light. It looks a bit too slick.

I like the look of the original. It was one of the things that made me want a Fat Bob. Not everybodys taste but I like it.

Good work.&nbsp\\;Quality Craftsmanship.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Fits nice on the bike but overall may need a larger front fender to balance it out.
&nbsp\\;
I can see where you would hate to loose that rack you made but I'm sure there would not be&nbsp\\;a shortage of buyers.&nbsp\\;

I really like it, that bob-tail rear fender was the one thing that I HATE about the Fat Bob, Looks SwEEEET! Good job!
