Same feeling here, so this is what I did. Purchased a 06 softail bobtail rear fender then took a 1" from the center.

Jigged it then welded together.

Had it painted and walla

And finished bike on the Flood Run from last weekend.

There is probably easier ways to go, like ordering a bobtail fender http://www.debrix.com/Fenders%20-%20...ear%20Fenders/ . I found this softail fender cheap on e-bay so started fabricating it to fit.

Love your bike man! I've seen some wg's with longer front ends and never really liked them. But, that springer front end on yours is sweet. Bikes sits really nice.

Thanks, I really dig the look of your wg also. That paint scheme is very nice. Has a real nice classic look to it.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to sticky all the model-specific threads. I know the fat bob thread is huge. I think the WG is a close second. The Street Bob may be up there, if a thread exists. Not sure of the other models.

new to the boards
sorry for the pic quality but cell was only thing i had on me. ill get some with my cannon.

2001 fxdwg. here's what i know about it. its a factory custom paint orange pearl metallic/black pearl metallic. #1 of 77. it is a factory 95ci bike and was bought new at chattahoochee harley in columbus georgia by a guy who works with me. i went to chattahoochee and talked to them about the bike and they said that the original dealer invoice sheet shows no indication of designation(ie.FXDWG) but only SPO. the salesman at chatt. said that SPO was Special Production Order and that they had done several over the years. he said to the best of his recollection it was one of 5 WillieG bikes they got at one time. ive never seen the colors anywhere else and when it got knocked over bout a year ago i had to pull the tank and have chatt. send it back to harley for repair and paint cause they wouldnt release the paint code(not even to chatt). they may have been shooting me a line of crap but thats the line i got. id love to see if anyone else has seen one like this.
