We do a lot of wide tire conversion kits but nothing for the fatboy with the 200mm rear. I think that Heartland is your best bet. They are not inexpensive but are most likely the beset engineered wide tire kits out there for softails that I know of.

Performance Machine / Roland Sands has a couple of options. Click the link to my bike under my screen name, there are couple of old pics of my Fatboy Lo with Roland Sands fender and struts, along with a Bitchin seat.

If you just want a fender I am sure I can find you some other options besides the Pm and Heartland one. l was thinking you wanted the whole kit with struts seat, etc.

The difficult part is knowing if the fender will work with the struts that you have on your bike as I know the Heartland fender is designed for their struts only. The Pm kit also includes their struts which mean you would need them with their fender. That fender is designed for a 240 tire so it would be a bit wide for you bike with the 200 tire. I think you need a 9" wide fender for your 200mm tire.

My bike has the Roland Sands Vintage kit with 200 rear tire, (9 inch fender). The Roland Sands kit is made by Performance Machine.
