Love that bike. If I kept the Heritage look, that rear fender would be perfect. But I'm putting a Fatboy style front fender and drag bars on my bike for more of a "hotrod" (what I'm calling it) look.

Thanks. The wheel is just on the axle for test fitting. No spacers, pulley, caliper, etc. So you can't judge the offset based on the picture. I honestly don't know what the final offset will be.

Ah, I see. You'd think it should be pretty centered up though. Gonna be sweet!
