Question Front Fender Lowering Kit...

Just a quick question about the front fender lowering kit. I know they make them for the touring models. Does anyone know if they make one for the softail models? Thanks...

Just lower it yourself. Figure out how much lower you want it. Drill new holes, use a rotary tool to cut the old holes off. Paint the bare edge, and mount your new lowered fender.

I have a FatBoy also. A while back here on the forum someone actually did it and I believe it was on a FatBoy too and it came out real nice. I was just curious if they sold a kit like the Touring models. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it your time...

What kind of kit to lower the fender? Link? Never head of that. Just elongate the mounting holes on top and pop it back on. Ensure you have the proper amount of clearance between the tire and fender to ensure that you do not rub.
