Default Can a bobtail fender be purchased for a new Dyna Wide Glide?
I know I may be going against the grain on this issue, but I like the bobtail fender on the older FXDWG than the new chopped rear fender. Can a dealer option be bought (or better yet, if anyone has one that will fit and is for sell, please let me know). Thanks!

What is the width of your current fender?

The bike is being stored at the dealership -- about an hour from my house. Don't know...

All I know it is the stock rear fender is currently on the bike...

Well without knowing the actual width, pretty difficult to find a fender for it.
There are tons of aftermarket fenders, which is most likely the way you will have to go.

There are threads on replacing the rear fender on the Fat Bob with the Wideglide fender so it would seem that the Fat Bob fender would fit the Wideglide.

The Fat Bob fender looks better on the Wide-Glide, Go for it!
Make sure you post pictures.
What color is your Glide?

Another minor issue -- my bike is chrome yellow. May need a paint job to make it all work together. Either the fender or the whole set of tins...

Let me know if you figure it out. My '10 WG fender is at the painter right now, so when I get it back my 2012 Fat Bob fender will be up for sale if youre interested.
