custom fender

Looking for information on changing the street bob front fender.&nbsp\\; Would like to see some pics and part numbers.&nbsp\\; I've been able to find all kinds of fenders for a 19/21 inch wheel, but that's the problem with the stock fender (not made for a 19 inch).&nbsp\\;

RE: custom fender

What are you talking about ? The&nbsp\\;Street Bob's front wheel is a 19".

RE: custom fender

I know it is a 19 inch wheel, that's the point.&nbsp\\; The fender&nbsp\\;on the street bob is the same fender as on a wide glide except for a different brace.&nbsp\\; The fender fits the wide glide good since it is a 21 inch wheel and a thinner tire.

RE: custom fender

virtually ALL aftermarket manufacturers (Russ Wernimont, WCC, Sumax, Milwaukee Twins) only make the 19/21 inch fender at 4.75 inches wide specifically for these tires at 90-100 width... anything beyond that, say, a 21 inch 3.00 requires a different fender due to width.

I'm waiting on a Russ Wernimont "Maverick" for my 21 inch Wide Glide front tire...gonna require some fabbing, no dought.... but will post pics when done

RE: custom fender

Yep, that's what I have noticed.&nbsp\\; The street bob has a 110/90-19 and that is why the fender is too narrow.&nbsp\\; I hate seeing all the Jap bikes with good fitting fenders and here I am with a one size fits all.&nbsp\\; I may just put a Vrod fender on since it will&nbsp\\;bolt up with no mods.

I'm running a 21" x 3.5" front wheel - and a new front fender that hugs the wheel.&nbsp\\; I talked to a tech at J&amp\\;P Cycles who helped me with my choice.&nbsp\\;

RE: custom fender

i got the top skin of a fat bob front fender, then cut my brackets off my stock fender, moved the mounting section froward on the bob fender an in and bolted it on, this gives it a much fatter look and wraps it aroudn my tire alot more, looks sick!
