Need wider front fender
I need to install a wider front fender.
I have the 110 metz on the front and the stock dyna fender does not keep the
wet roads from splashing all over my pant legs.
I think a Wide Glide fender would work but I need to know before I purchase one.
I couldn't find a write up on a switch over.
Any suggestions?

Do you have a 21" on the front? Not sure how close the fender radius will match up with a 19" tire. Look at aftermarket fenders too. KC International is where I got my Long Boy from in my sig pic.

I don't think the WG fender is any wider than yours, just the mounts are wider to fit the wider front end. Now it's possible that a Fat Bob fender will work. I found one on ebay and asked the seller for the mounting width but he didn't answer the question so I didn't bid on it. Other than that you probably need to look for an aftermarket unit.
i ran a fat bob lid on my stock st bob fender mounts... came out sick and i ran a 120 under that on the stock 19 rim... here is a few pics below and like to my how to form years ago

JRK5892-Nice job.
What year Fatbob fender did you use?
Did you rivet the fender like it was stock?

no idea what year... they are all the same... i think it was an 07... yes i did rivit it, however if i was to do it again i would just weld it up for a cleaner finish... i rolled it back a bit on the mount to have it wrap the tire a bit more and have a bobbed look in front, then cut and lowered the mounts for the stock fender so it would hug nice and tight... all in all was pretty easy... if you do this and rivit it and would like it welded you can send it out marked and we can weld it all up and powder coat it for you... clean smooth finish and you can just bolt her on!

JRK5892 , that sounds good.
I'll PM you when I get there,
My tire fits my fender tight already, don't know if I need to extend the mounts yet.
Got to look for a fender.
