Default Softail Slim Front Fender?

I removed my front fender to have the paint touched up and I am not sure which direction to re-install it. At first it appears not to matter since the fender is symmetrical, but 1 end is curled under and the other end is smooth?

My Slim has the curled end pointed forward and the smooth end pointed down to the asphalt.

Caltak and Northern,

Thank you both for your quick responses. Interesting how the Fatboy and Slim are different in your cases.
