Default fatboy fender question

hi. Does anyone know if the rear fender on a 98 fatboy is cut out at the front at the fuse box or is it just dimpled. I am helping my neighbor fix his bike that was stolen and ratrodded. I am looking at new aftermarket fenders and they all seem to want to fit 90 to 99 but they are not cut out but they are dimpled. I have a 2001 and it is cut out. Thanks Don

I'm not 100% sure, but I think 2000 was when they started with the cut out.

Thanks for the replys. Cheife, you just showed me a gold mine! I took a 2001 standard softail and made a fatboy. The only way to tell was to run the vin# I had no idea there was a online factory parts manual. Where is this place and can you order online because that would have save be a buttload of time!! I think that link is the same as a 2001 carb twin cam fender. Thanks Don

Yes you can order from Ronnie's or any other online facility. Here is a little something about them.

When using the "Ronnie's micropiche" once you have found the part you need simply select the quantity and then place in your cart. The OEM part number and a price will then be provided. You don't have to purchase, it's a nice way to find part numbers and approximate prices.
Cheers!
