Default Mid Glide conversion Fender?

Working on collecting all the pieces for a conversion, have an 18" wheel from a 2014 Superlow 1200T and will be using a 130/70-18 Avon Cobra tire. would like to use a stock fender but unsure which bikes are actually mid glide. Avon says the tire is 5.1" wide so I figure a fender with 5˝" wide mounting should work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. BTW, plan to use the Vulcan kit.

right there with you. i'm going to have to either steal the front of a superlow (just the trees and fender i think) or buy a roadster front end. to mount the 19X3.0 roadster wheel front wheel. i think the back one should bolt right up.
