Default 2007 XL1200C bobbed rear fender

I’m wanting to put a bobbed rear fender on my bike. I’ve seen some older model of sportster with it but not the newer style. Anybody done this before or have pics…

something like this..
thanks

They definitely sell that fender for the newer bikes. Never seen one in the wild but it seems like an easy swap minus the painting.

I always liked that fender on older Softails… Not sure how it would translate on a smaller, narrower bike like a Sportster.

It’s called a Ducktail fender not Bobbed. Bobbed is when you cut the fender off right behind the seat.

Here’s a thread from a few years ago. Look at the bike in the back ground. I think it looks great myself.
