IMO you cant just pull the fender off of a stock FB or Heritage and look good. You need a few mods to get the right look.
This bike looks good.

I agree with this statement 100% now. Pulled it last night and it looked goofy but when I look at this bike holy crap. Just gives me something to shoot for. Thanks guys. Plus I think changing the wheels would help a lot.

Although I did like how nice it was to show the entire wheel.

Is your bike carbed or is that one of the S&S kits for EFI bikes?
Love the look, are you going to go all black with the bike or keep the 'colors' the way they are?
It is a EFI bike. Don't remember where I got the air cleaner, as I've had it for a long time, but they make 'em to fit EFI bikes. I'm gonna paint it flat black for now. Cant really think of anything else and want to keep it pretty simple and subtle.

I knew they made them and originally wanted to put one on mine.
I have an older one I picked up for cheap stashed around here someplace, but the backing plate was made for a carb of some kind and after I found the old style round one I have I stopped trying to figure out how to get it mounted properly.
Now seeing yours I'm sorry I didn't keep trying to figure it out.
