Default Fat boy Low Modification question
I am new to the Harley world but just bought a new fat boy low and want to see if it is possible to change out the rear finder for something smaller and minimal looking. Also is it possible to put a fater back tire for more of a custom look.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks for the link. The rear tire on the fat boy is probably wide enough, mainly looking for a shorter fender.

Maybe just cut the stock one?
Probably the least expensive way to get the exact length/look you want.
