RE: crossbones with fatboy rear fender .. DONE
Yosemite
thanx for the thoughts.
I never in the 30 years of biking considered apes or even "mini" apes, but i fell for the xbones even before i sat or rode it. I did know that the rear fender was going before she even left the show room. I now have 900+ miles and find the bars very comfortable. They were a bit foreign for the first 100 or so miles. ( considering what ive been riding for the last 15 years ) see pix below.
again, thanx all for the compliments
please give credit to our forum brother "dennysguns" he served as an inspiration

Great job.
Why they put the stock fender on a bike like this beats me. far too pretty and almost feminine IMHO.
I'd go one step further and have something like a shortie Sportster fender to show off the 200 wheel. Bit like the front of the Bones but bigger.
I was persuaded to have S&S slip ons but they're a bit cheap and cheerful for me although they do sound good.
I think I'll go for Vance and Hines Black Big Radius at the 500 mile service and keep looking for a fender.
Anybody got any ideas for a back rest. I've got a 1000 mile trip coming up and I'm too old for that kind of trip without a rest.

hey ratatude
the fender bolted on just fine, but the wiring was 3" too short and the PLASTIC cover below the seat needed a small tweak.
