Hey, that looks nice...very nice. I think it gives the bike a nice clean and light look in the front. Why did you change it back to the original?

I changed it back because...most of my riding is done on the hwy in which case I throw my windshield on. I thought it looked better with the bigger fender when I had the w/s on. I also put the foglamps back on so I thought I might as well just put the big fender back on too.

Yes that is a fatboy rear fender. (i also changed that back lol)

If I rode with no windshield I much prefer the naked look without the foglamps and with the smaller fender. It may be only in my head, but it seemed to handle better too with all the weight removed. (w/s, foglamps, smaller fender)

I still have the fender so it's only about a 20 minute job changing it back, depending how I want it.
You can order the street stalker fender color matched to your bike from hd. It's only plastic tho, not metal. (which i didn't know until it arrived)

Very nice, Tx_Outlaw!! You like those Cruise Arms? I ordered a set for my Heritage Classic 2 days ago. Can't wait to install them.

Thank you. I really like the cruise arms. They help me stretch out on longer rides. I installed 2.5" peg extensions on them to get the pegs away from the extended brake pad and shifter peg. When you do the install, make sure to use some anti-seize on the mounting bolts so the lock nuts will tighten down without stripping or breaking the bolts. Guess what happened to me.......

RE: heritage front fender

I changed both front and rear fenders on my heritage to fatboy's with the indented flames. Much cleaner look and added a 160 metzler tire on the rear.
