Thanks, The fender is mounted about an inch lower in front. That really gave it a good low look. The forks are lowered another 2" (I may go lower). The rear is air ride.

The fenders are from a Heritage. Best mod I've made. When I sold the original fenders the buyer came over to pick them up, saw what I did with the Heritage fenders and questioned putting his standard back together with the bobtail and skinny front fenders. At that point money had already changed hands. No refunds sorry!

I've seen a few others on here, they'll chime in eventually. The fenders are a direct bolt on. Easy Breezy. Good luck and post pics when you get it done.
