front fender that "hugs" the wheel/tire???
I see so many photos of bikes where the front fender is very low profile and pretty much hugs the tire with little space between fender and tire. I love this look. I did some searching, but can't seem to figure out what fender would fit my bike. I have an '04 Super Glide. Has 19" front wheel. Stock tires are
100/90-19 and forks are 39mm. Was also wondering if there is any way to just modify my existing stock fender (drill new holes to bring fender lower to tire). Anyone know how to source the correct part? Thanks in advance! |
This is mine, also on a 19" wheel. I went through the same thing as you... I hate how the stock fender sits. I still can't believe that Harley cheaps out like this, making one fender for 19" and 21" wheels... I thought about dropping the front fender closer to the tire and drilling new holes as some have done, but I knew it would still bother me that the radius is off. I tried to find a fender that looks OEM but fits right. Drag Specialties makes one which I almost got, but the side supports are chrome and I didn't feel like dealing with prepping them for paint. Here's what I ended up with... It's carbon fiber made by Deviant Fabrications. They make the same fender in black plastic as well, and they aren't really very expensive...

A 110 tire fills out a fender.

Does the 110 tire fit the stock mag wheel and forks with no issues?
That carbon fiber fender looks good! |

What is your stock front wheel size? Wonder if it is the same specs as my '04 FXD. I'd be surprised if it is. Thanks for the input

Wow, thanks. Got another option to think about.
