Alright fellas, talkin to some guys today about a rear fatboy fender for my standard and he told me that if it bolts up to the struts don't mean it will work on the bike. I thought a 08 fatboy fender would work on a 06 standard. Let me know what y'all think.

Tatted,

Should work if both bikes have the same swingarm and tire size. Does your 06 have the 200 mil tire? I bolted an 02 Fatboy fender onto an 03 Night Train. Only had to do minor trimming with a file on the forward portion of the fender to fit the ECU bracket.

I thought so, they have a fender for a 08 fatboy for 250 and the moco wants 430. Kind of nervous ordering from them when they don't know there on product. Thanks again fellas.

I got a full set of # tins off of a 07 standard brand new for 640.00. Tank, front and rear fenders off ebay. Be patient.
