I want to switch out stock Fat Bob finder with Chopped Rear Fender Kit
product # 59860-10BEO. Which fits '06-'11 DynaŽ models (except my FXDFSE/2). If I change to Wide Glide struts, can anyone who has made the Fat Glide swap tell me why the chopped fender want fit?

 

I made the swap but used a stock wide glide fender. If I'm not mistaken the kit you're looking at is actually the street bob fender. I'm pretty sure its too narrow for the struts on the fat bob. On a side note. The wide glide fender bolts right on. I'm no mechanic by any means and I was able to do it all myself.

 

It is too narrow. You will have to get the newer wide glide fender like Rrose did.

 

^Yup. Thats the street bob fender. Get the wide glide fender. My buddy is doing this to his FB right now, its all pretty easy.

 

Thanks for your info.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Thanks for the info very helpful

 

The wide glide rear fender is probably the best mod I've made to my fat bob. Do it.

 

I did the swap too. Fender bolts up with a few spacers, but that's not the whole story.

• You need to deal with what you'll do about the brake light, turn signal wires and license plate light. You lose the stock tail light and the FXDF fender has everything connected to a circuit board under the tail light and a wiring conduit under the fender that you lose too. A little rework and more parts are needed.
• You need to do an under the fender or side license plate mount
• You can no longer use your FXDF strut covers. The FXDWG ones fit (I hear) but are only available in black, not chrome, if that matters
• Also, if you use the stock turn signals, the stock standoffs wont fit right without the strut covers

There are several threads that go into this mod in detail.

 

Greetings gang. I'm assembling a pile of mods, and the Wide Glide fender is one of them.

I just left Ft Myers' Harley here in FL., and they gave me part numbers 59281-08 and 59410-08 for the left and right hand CHROME strut covers that they *say* will work with this mod.

Could anyone confirm this fit? I think these strut covers go back to an 08 SE.

BTW, if they will fit, New Castle Harley Davidson online has these chromed covers for $85!

Sorry for the lack of my profile and pics. I will work on it.
