Was hoping some one here would have some insight. Also If I have to change the fender, is there a option available or would it need to be custom.

I think that it looks ausome on the deluxe and would look even better on my springer.

i just gave you a picture of one on a springer....why dont you put your curser on it(the attached pic) and open it up. take a look. it looks good
