Ok Im finally gonna do this. I got me a matching FatBoy rear fender for my FXSTSI. Need some recomendations for installation, will my hardware bolt right up? And how bout wiring? I know I will need a license plate mounting kit and FL style rear light kit. I would assume all the wiring and prep is done before attempting to mount the thing, although it wouldnt be the first time I did something that stupid Thanks in advance for the help[sm=coolness.gif].

Put a FL fender on an old FX lowrider once, only change was the fender struts. Seems that would be the only concern here, most of the new electrical components are fairly easy with plugs etc.

 

It's doable. The wiring should be a direct fit. Try a salvage yard and get a fender and light setup froma fatboy and you should have no issues.

 

if it's the same year the fatboy fender should bolt right up. ever think of running a swing arm mount plate and light and smoothing out the fatboy fender? of course that way matching or not it needs to be painted jus my .02

 

PM sent this morning.

This ought to be a bolt-on, with same-generation parts. The struts are the same (except for Deuce), and the only wiring difference is in length, since the Fatboy light is lower on the fender vs. a Bobtail light. That's where I should have gotten the Fatboy harness. I got lucky, my Fat fender came with all the lights, as well as a laydown plate frame.

Like Nike says, Just Do It!!

 

It should only take a couple of hours to do the swap The torx bolts are the hardest part! you will love the look!

 

Thanks Guys ! Im so pumped, cant wait until its done. The rear fender is a direct match paint and pin strip from and '05 Fatboy going on my '05 FX so there should be no fitting issues. Just gotta get the plate and the light figured out. I would love to go with the swing arm plate mount, but thats a little more than I can do right now. Thanks again[sm=happybounce.gif]

Thanks for your PM JBT !!
