I know a few that have done the reverse of this and some softail owners dislike the bobtail fenders, but I for one think they are awesome as hell. Looks great on there!

Def makes the bike look tougher to me. I know you have a bitch load of chrome on there but I think blacking out your forks would really make it look killer.

Either way man, it looks good

To each his own... (don't like it, but I don't judge)

Looks good, but then I'm a fan as far as fenders are concerned of less is best,remember seeing an actual Harley ad years ago where they did the same thing.

Every one has his own taste dude, some people think my bike is ugly as hell and some days I agree LOL..
I think that combination looks .. Japanese .. .. I am sorry, the FatBoy/Heritage/Deluxe are very hard to have bobtailed... maybe something like the Slim is what you are afte.r
