Default Sport glide fender

Been considering a softail recently and looking at the Sportglide many owners and comments on youtube about the very short fender throwing crap on the oil coolers etc. Would the wrapper/slicer full size fender not be a suitable upgrade then, assuming theres a 18" wheel version of course.

Amy fender that would stop the spray or rocks and debris would be better. That's why I put a full FL fender on the Freewheeler and ditched the fat boy style fender that was on it. Those baby fenders are useless. And on some bikes ugly.

Because of the inverted forks, not just any fender will fit the Sport Glide. This is one from Bagger Nation. $544.95, but it does include the adapters, which are billet aluminum and powder coated. You can buy the adapters separately for $389.95. The fender is available in four different styles and the Cafe style gives you a choice of material, steel or composite.

That looks just right, fantastic colour too, is that a stock cooler cover, looks neat and integrated.

I pulled that picture from the Bagger Nation site. Apparently that chin fairing is one of their products also. Their also making a Road Glide style fairing for the Sport Glide, and the price on it isn't bad. I might consider that route sometime down the road.
