Street bob fender chop
Just chopped and lowered 1 inch my 06 Street bob fender,still have some fine tuning to do to it but it is close.I was scared I was gonna **** my fender up but I think it's turning out ok.Here is a before and after pics,still has the stock 160/60-17 tire but going with a 180 soon.

Looks good. With the fender like that, even the stock tires looks bigger.
I don't think I'd put the 180 on. I've had the 180 and for the money they want for the SE 180 will never buy one again. Just doesn't last long and is way overpriced.

Found the info...recommended rim width is 5 to 6". Basically just another big tire squeezed onto the rim and not made specifically for our bikes.
The SE180 is made for the 4.5" rim which is why they charge so much for it.

Thanks for the all the compliments guys,the 190 tire is actually recommended for a 5 inch rim per avon site,so it's gonna be a little stretched on the 4.5 inch rim,I kinda worded my title wrong I actually raised the mounting holes on the fender 1inch which lowered the fender 1inch,the bike has the burly slammer kit on it also.

I'm also gonna put wide glide trees on it with a stock 21 inch wheel off a night train,the trees are gonna be powder coated black also and I still have the stock strut covers that we're chrome but being powder coated right now too.I like the smooth look of the strut covers.
