Talking Fatboy front fender on a Standard?

Anyone know if a fatboy front fender will bolt up to a standard? Putting 16" fatboy front wheel on.
Thanks, Pete

Straight forward bolt up, very popular in the early '90's, lots of FXST's running 16's up front with a FB fender.

I am going to used a Full Heritage fender on my new L0-Boy.....very simple install. Hard part was getting it painted Denim Black. Seems it is not as easy as a regular paint job.

Got the 'Slammed Fender' from

http://www.Nativecustombaggers.com

great product, Great price.

JMHO

On putting the fatboy wheel on....agapsdiver had to make spacers....will my stock spacers work on the softail std or will I need to do as he did?(Thanks for the great how - to agapsdiver....got it saved in case I need it.)
Getting front and back wheel off '03 fatboy. Got '04 std. Will these wheels go right on....heard anything earlier than '03 on the rear would have wrong offset, but front are the same from '00 up.
Looks like the fatboy fender will bolt rite up....was worried about adapters.
Thanks, Pete

If you have all the parts go ahead and give it a try with your stock spacers...
If after it's installed there is some offsets you need to work with give
my explaination with mockup PVC pipe a try.
Remember.. you'll probably need to take your brake caliper off the forks to get the 16" wheel and tire installed.
