Hello all,

I am finding mixed info. on rear fender fitment for a 1999 Softail Custom. It appear that 1997-1999 are different than the previous years.
Can anyone confirm what years are direct bolt on.

 

Mid year 96 they started putting an plastic electrical box in the fender and it has a cutout in the fender. 84- earley 96 do not have this. You can cut a 84-96 fender to fit...and not even mess up the paint

 

This is great information, I have seen many 84-96 parts available. A little trimming is no problem as I plan on painting anyways. Thanks for the reply.

 

Only thing different is the electrical box. on the shaved fender I just got they said it will fit 80-2008 as long as you cut the top the way you needed. I just traced my old fender, cut out the template and marked the shaved fender to cut.
