Default Low Rider Front Fender

Trying to beep the bike clean, especially the oil cooler. Made a removable fender extension while the Winter drags on.
Used the same Home Depot rubber step tread I have keeping the rear shock clean.
I have 6 miles on the bike so also decided to wax it today.

Looks pretty good for step tread material, LOL. Did something similar on my 09 LR. Think its a good idea to offer some protection for the oil cooler.

Looks good! How did you attach it to the fender?

I was surprised how dirty the front of the bike gets from my 2019 Low Rider so thought I'd try this. It's completely removable.

Fender on my LR had a hole so I went with a nut & bolt, but the velcro is a good idea also.

Looking for a low rider fender for my fat bob since I installed the touring front wheel/ tire. I will probably steal this idea when I put the fender on.

Killer, thank you! Still up in the air about whether to use fender from sport glide or low rider s because I have a 130 front tire. Unsure if the low rider s fender will cover. Guess I need to run by dealer to eyeball and measure.

Sport Glide fender will not just bolt on. They mount differently.

Thats another thing I was going to check out. I knew the Sport glide had inverted forks but it's also single rotor instead of dual, so I didn't know if it mounted the same. Sorry to hijack thread...
