It is an FLSTSCI. Thanks for the advice. I found a friend here that stated the front fender is supposed to be based off of a 45-55 WLA/WLC, but I am not sure if they made fender tips for the bikes back then.
I think why no OEM fender tip applicationexists is because H-D wanted a clean uncluttered design (look) of the front and rear sheetmetal....also, I couldn't find any aftermarket chromey bits either....
Did extech come close with his OEM p/n's? Isn't the only thing that matters is that the stamped front or rear fender "FL shells" came off the same tooling and have the same shape dimensionally? If the shape is the same, then the rest of the fender's hardware is what makes it (the H-D fender p/n) model specific....
But then again, maybe I'm just farting upwind....try the folks at this url....perhaps they know of an application that fits and looks good ------> http://cyclewarehouseonline.com/
