I like the grey except they over did it. They just put too much of it and I agree blacking some of it out makes a big difference.

I can't believe my heartland front fender sits so much further off the tire Rail, did you do anything to yours to get it closer? Sorry for the hijack :P

that to me looks like you got the one for a 21" tyre instead the 19? (there is a specific one for a 19 wheel apparently)

thats exactly how mine looked at mock up before the wheels....

on the plus side I cant think of a better reason for new wheels...

That gray coating was Harley's **** poor attempt to copy Exile's scothbrite treatment on their bikes. It would have looked 100 times better if they had just done it right.

LOL.. I didn't mean the tire was backwards, I meant the fender was on the wrong way.. Not that Rocker Dan mentioned it, you might have gotten a fender for a 21" wheel.. I know the 1st fender Heartland sent me was for an FXST and wasn't even close to working.. I called and had the correct one in 2 days.. You might want to call and then email them that pic to see what they have to say..
For the tire I used a Dunlop E3 MM90-19 which is bigger than the stock 90/90-19
