Tom from http://harleygoodies.com/ here. I vote for a Heritage front fender as the fatboy fender looks a little off with a tire that big. I still vote for it with the fender too.

Regards,
Tom

Its all a matter of personal taste. I personally like the fenderless look.

go with the heritage fender man. i would avoid at all costs buying anything from Arlen NEss. those guys are a disaster, if you do get the right pars for your bike, the quality of the chrome is shitty .

there's got to be a fender out there that will fit your current set up.

the heritage fender dosent go with the look I want, it covers the wheel too much.

the Ness trees are about the only ones I can find that have the fork slider covers. brianp25 bike looks killer with it. the price is outrageous, though.

I like the look without the fender but it might suck, riding in the rain.
