RE: Changing rear fender on Wide Glide?
Thinking about chopping a low rider rear fender into a Spike Style and relocating the turn signals to flush mounted and pushing the tail light and license plate to the left. What do you think?

RE: Changing rear fender on Wide Glide?
I've had the bike for 10 years now and thought of changing the look a bit and the rear fender seems a cheap way to go. I can always switch back when needed. I believe I saw a street bobber that looked like a fender would be a bolt on, maybe even a lowrider or something. Not sure what would fit.

RE: Changing rear fender on Wide Glide?
I bought this Dyna already done. I have the original fender and am thinking of switching back. Also, the side mount license plate keeps me from putting on saddle bags. I might just move the plate to the fender, but it really is cool the way its already done. decisions..decisions...decisions...

Not bad, but I am a bobtail fan so....
I do like the clean look without the plate.

RE: Changing rear fender on Wide Glide?
How wide is 2005(and older ones)FXDWG rear fender? And is there any difference between newer than 2000 models and older ones? (I don't like the looks of an 2006WG fender...)
I'm thinking about togeta new (or used. Anyone out there, who who would like to sell me one?
)rear fenderfor my St.Bob, but I'd like to know ifI have to widen FXDWGs fender... I have already shortened the original Bob fender, but for the next summer I would like to try something else.[sm=smiley1.gif]

All 06 - 08 fenders should be interchangable. The 05 and later fender will not fit the new frames witout some major modding. The frames on the 05s andearlier are narrower, therefore the fenders are and inch or so narrower.
