Front fender for a SB (Pic's Added)
So I have come to the conclusion that I want a full fender, something FatBoy or bagger-ish.
So what style fenders will work with the 48MM forks and a 19 inch wheel?
I figure that some mods are gonna be in order either filling holes and making way for the odd 2 hole set up the SB has.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Contact Russ Wernimont VIA his website and he can get you setup with a fender that looks similar to that blue bike pic above. Your forks are the 49mm Mid Glides and they have a setup to fit the 19inch wheel. I missed a used one a while back already painted black... I was bummed out as I really hate my front fender. It looks out of place with the full rear fender. Just too much gap for me.

Well, I bought the front fender from Debrix. The curvature was to tight for the SB front wheel/tire so tried stretching it open with a press....Close but still looked to Big Dog Chopper'sh to me.
Cut 3 inches off the rear and 2 inches off the front, re contour everything, welded a tapped/threaded spacer to the fender and good to go.
No more big gap.

HDDyna,
To start the fender hit at the front and trailing edge and had to be forced over the tire and smashed down about 3/8. Put a section of 2x4 inside fender and off to the press. Opened the fender up a little over 3/8 inch where it would set on the tire without a lot of pressure. Maybe with heat and more work you could get the fender on without cutting it but I didn't like the Big Dog Chopper look.
On the spacer/hard mounting point he used a solid oval block welded to the fender, then drilled and tapped the block for the mounting bolts. The spacer/mounting block is 1.90 long x 1.00 wide with a slight taper from top to bottom.
And yes I am running the stock 100x90x19 tire.

Now that is the absolute sharpest fender I have ever seen on a Superglide. Any spacers reqd? Looks like a drill and install. I wonder if my 21 front wheel will fit under there with my 120 front tire? It says it fits 21 Metz tires. I will call a tech tomorrow.
