Default Arlen Ness Taildragger Fender Install?

Im looking at buying an 8" Arlen Ness Taildragger rear fender for my 97 Fatboy. Has anyone ever installed one of these? Can I use my stock struts? Do I need to do any modifications?
Thanks!

Default installing your tail dragger

you can send it out to a compitant shop or do it yourself. before paint remove your old fendermake a note of any wires then line the taildragger up between your stock fender struts and mark the mounting holes. Its much easier to do if you have some help! before drilling holes , measure twice . then make the holes , send it out fot aint , wire it up if ya want then mount it! wa - la, you are cool!
