It will, He makes them custom. I'll post a pic when I get mine. I'm having mine attached on the outside. He uses a spacer so that it will clear the reflector. You can also set it up between the fender and side piece (for lack of a better word).

Forgot to add that it is going back in in a week to add a power commander with the powervision because we needed to tweak a few spots where the powervision resolution wasn't fine enough as well as so other things that need fine tuned that the we just ran out of ability with the pv.

prob wont be too noticeable on the graph. But will def have better fuel economy and a little better right as tq comes on. the main issue is we need to get in between the 500 rpm increments of the power vision and down to lik 250 incriments to fix a lean spot on the low end of cylinder 2 and a lean spot on cylinder 1 up top.

@beardo can you pls post link what front suspension you used? In aiming weight saving I found these two producers of front suspension:
http://www.odcsuspension.com/en/ and
https://www.krausmotorco.com/
For wheels I will probably go into this direction
Front wheel: https://brocksperformance.com/bst-fr...fat-bob-18-19/
Back wheel: https://brocksperformance.com/bst-re...fat-bob-18-19/
P.S. I used http://www.hdwheels.com/product.htm as reference and https://tiresize.com/comparison/ for future decisions. Example of usage http://blog.brocksperformance.com/cu...-fiber-wheels/

I also went 'backwards' with the brakes, using the old single piston Hayes brake calipers that were stock on every Harley Davidson from 1984-1999.
While I can appreciate the fact that people spend thousands of dollars on fancy forks, brakes, big inch motor builds, etc., it isn't neccessary!
If you want to feel like you are going fast, buy a second bike that is really slow. Personally, I have an old Royal Enfield for that.
By the way, my FXFB feels like its on rails now. Whereas the stock bike felt like I was steering a truck. And if I did it all over again, I would have just started out with a Street Bob. Cheaper, and a better balanced bike.
