...but I would pick a WG over a Custom. I LOVE the looks of the WideGlide.

I have a Heritage, the Deuce below, and a WG.

BTW, yes it is a Springer, I just used it for a pic of the back fender.

To me it looks like they started to make a bobtail fender on the WG, but never gave it the finesse of the Softail.

michaelbarry,
We won't hate you. But if I were you and just to be sure I would be careful opening any packages for the next few days.

I don't know about that. To me the rear fenders on the two bikes look virtually identical

Not trying to insult you WG owner's, just my opinion.

DaveJ,
I stand corrected. I just looked at both bikes on the HD web site and it appears that you may be right,the WG does in fact seem to have a little lessof a 'flip' in the end of the rear fender.
I guess I just never paid all that much attention to the finer points.
However that being said IMHO I believe that we may be splitting too fine a hair here.
I mean that if I had to choose between the WG's rear fender and any of the other Dyna's. Itwould beno contest, the WG wins hands down.
If they mever made the Customs, Standards, and NT's I would be hard pressed to to choose another Softail over the WG and even though I have trouble working the forward controls on one I would still choose it over any of the other more full fendered Softails or Dyna's. It would just mean that I would have to do some work getting a new seat andmovingthe forward controls back some so I could operate themand reach the ground abit easier.

At the end of the day, I like the fact there are all these choices. It would be boring if everyone had the same bike. Buy what you like, don't buy what you don't like!

This wg can be found here on ebay: http://*******.com/2uvfsx
Here's a pic of my 1996 wg; it's the original paint and tins and every other wg I see from the past looks just like it. (I think??) No wonder I was confused [&:]
