Default Has anyone put fork covers on a Fat Bob?
Has anyone tried to fit softail fork cover on to a Dyna? I want to cover my forks and black them out if possible?
I believe they can fit. I was wondering if someone has already tried it?

I havent had a chance to install these but they do fit the bike. Do some searches in this forum.

Did you mean rubber fork gaiters or were you thinking along the lines of road king front end.

I'm looking for the same thing myself. As was pointed out in another thread, the fender mounts can cause interference. If you look at the pic of the V-Rod covers, there are slots for the fender mounts...here's what I've found; but the Street Bob covers are still unknown origin, The V-Rod cowbells are available for about $250 I think, but look like exhaust pipe extensions with a slot cut.

More along the lines of road king covers. I'm not a big fan of gaiters.

I've been looking for a few years and I haven't found them. Softail or switchback front end swap is the way most go. Switchback front end is $1400, install is about $400 at the dealer.
