FXDL front fender choice
I will be going to a 120/70/21 tire in the very near future, my FXDL has a 19" stock front, I know the new tire fits under the front fender have seen pic of others with the same, but the tire is very obviously wider than the fender. Do anyone know who out there sells a proper fender for this setup for a reasonable price, or if there are other bikes whose stock fender could be swapped on to fit for a more factory look? I know the WG front fender is just as narrow but what about a FB?

I'm curious to see what you come up with. Since Low Riders have run Sportster fenders since the begining of time, and I just recycled my Low Rider fender for my Springer, I would love to see whats out there and what you guys can make work. I have been looking at Oldies and Sumax but have yet to be awed by any one fender.

A FB fender is wider (but shorter OAL I think) but the hole pattern is different so you will need to redrill it, I'm not sure about the width of the mounting brackets though - could be a difference between the two. Mine has a 130 on a 3.5x18 wheel.

I like the style of te FB fender, simple purposeful look, guess by what your saying probably be easier to try to find an aftermarket fender that is similar with the right width, which means getting the actual width of the tire now.
