Default Front fender

Hi. I just got my dyna wide glide a few weeks back. It is missing the front fender. I bought one off eBay and the holes line up but not wide enough to sit flush against the forks. My question is could I use some kind of spacers and what size in diameter are the 4 bolts? Should I use lock washers?
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

No year of the bike given given; how typical is that. Let's play a guessing game here. 49mm forks? A '10 or later?

If it doesn't fit you bought the wrong front fender for a Wide Glide.

Play with all the spacers if you want to try and make it work, or buy the proper fender and be happy

I think vulcanworks makes adapters/spacers.

I swapped the front fender out on my 09 FXD and needed different spacers, my local Ace hardware store had them in a drawer (Chrome, various sizes) with all the other nut's an bolts an such,, bring the fender in the store with you and get the bolt that fits (chrome).

if it's an 05/earlier wide glide, i'm guessing you got a narrow glide front fender, plenty of companies make adapters. anything late model, i'm not sure...

Yes...You can probably figure that out...Yes, if you aren't using lock nuts

Good luck
