Default Just got my softail
So I just picked up a 97 Softail Custom a few days ago not my first bike but my first big twin.
Anyways ive been looking at a few things for it just ideas in my head really but has any one put a stretched rear fender on a softail standard or custom? im curious as to what it may look like with the stock front fender and a stretched rear.
