Yep several manufacturers out there.

Changed it to a wideglide....bought one used, and had it painted.
Could have used the narrowglide fender with spacers, but got a great deal on a used one, so just had it sprayed to match.

I believe that is a 41mm, wide front end....correct?

If so, it should bolt right up....

The fender I bought was from a FXDWG, and it was a perfect match.

I found a FXST fender on EBAY for a pretty good price. It also is already painted to match the bike,(vivid black). I plan on 41mm forks so it should fit ok? Also,I bought a speedy-check dipstick for the tranny.That solved the clearance problem.
