Default Pic request. 2007 up Fatboy with Cholos.

Me and my buddy with the 2009 Fatboy are at it again. For those that remember, we recently installed a lowering kit. He loves it, and he finally caught the mod bug. He most recently ditched the 14 inch bars in favor of some giant 18 inch chubbys. What we need now is both thoughts and pictures of anyone who has put long duals or Cholos on a 2007 and UP Fatboy. Before he dumps the cash, he wants to see some pictures because we have some concerns that the giant rear tire and freaky looking fender may not work with Cholos like they do on..... say a Deluxe. So please, if you have any links or pictures of Cholos on a 2007 or up Fatboy, please post up. Opinions on the mod are welcome as well.

Thanks Sgt.. Thats a great post, hell I was response 28 for all that matter but thats the older style fender. We need help with the newer Fatboys with that giant rear tire and funky fender. At least IMHO they look quite strange in stock trim but don't look too bad slammed. No matter how low you make a newer fatboy the rear fender will still sit a lot higher than a Heritage or Deluxe. Thats why we need the help. Cholos have a unique look but without a fender hanging down I am worried they might look.... wrong. Heck, maybe it will look kicka$$, I don't know. Some first hand experience or pictures would be great if anyone has some.
