I personally like that but seems like EHunter wants a longer smooth fender...

The axel is longer. But it's an easy swap to do. The hardest part is holding the fender up while you get the wheel in place.

I held mine in place with cord tied to the forks. The design is really backwards in my way of thinking.

Is that a 08 fatboy rear fender on this springer. That fender looks good.
Thanks everybody for the feedback, ( please keep it comming) good ideas I haven't thought about. Still waiting on the front fender. I think they sent it snail mail, or by pigeon.

Just remember to put on the running light first. Do not ask me how I know this. I just do.

If any of you have that parts list for the front fender swap could you post it? The on line dealer I tried to get the parts from wasn’t much help.

Yes it is a 08 Fatboy fender on my Xbone. With a low profile smoked LED tail light. It's one of the easiest changes you can do. Not a straight bolt-on. But close.
