So will the fender still drop over the outside of the tire? I’d love to swap to a 260 on mine but I’ll be adding air suspension and a center stand. Trying to figure out if the fender would hit the tire when lowered. Looks killer by the way....

Sorry guys for a bundle of questions:

1. Is there any crash guard like a bar or something which can be also used as a peg rest? Not this giant ones - like a moustache maybe.

2. Still looking for a solution to cover the horn or the cooler or both at front. Stock looks a kind of cheap.

3. When I shot down the engine by switch it’s everytime beeping for three times and not like written in the manual for two times (alarm). Any idea?

thanks a lot. And now my last Ad on: Reflector home made.

Thanks for pics. With rear indicators I think it’s a kind of US law? It’s the first thing 90% of Harley owners change in the first week of ownership in Germany

And which front axle cover is that? Great!

You are welcome, I now have the Kodlin's 3 in 1 on the Fat Boy and recently also on my Fat Bob.

They are one off custom made, I made many axle / bolt covers and parts in the past and still do
