RE: I regret selling my XL
Wow that is a really cool looking Sporty.
I regret selling my 67 Mustang with a 351C dropped in it with a Edelbrock intake, Holley 4 barrel (don't remember the size) and a 580 lift 292 duration competition cam. I sold the damn thing right after my first marriage in the late 80s for $600 after the window crank broke for the upteenth time and the door lock fell into the door and pissed me off.
WTF was I thinking? [sm=chairshot.gif][sm=badidea.gif][sm=boohoo.gif]

I was going thru my picure archive and came accross a picture of my old 883 right before I sold it.
Fatboy rear fender, Stretch fatbob tank, custom front fender, badlander seat, forward controls and a bunch of extras...

Seriously, those bikes look sweet dude!
No way I will sell my Sporty. I already have plans on what to do with it when I get a second bike.

RE: I regret selling my XL
Biker Trash, you also have to roll it back a little bit from how it sits on a fatboy. Not much, but it does take some clearancing to get it nice and straight. You can kinda tell in his pics...it points towards the ground a little bit more and sits a bit lower. I have one in my garage right now off of one of the first few Fatboys to be released, got it off a buddy that recently sold the bike. I was gonna use it on mine but it didn't look right. You can get a kickass look with em if you mount them a little lower on the tire and run covered shocks.

Thanks for all the cudo's,
Here's a side shot of my old sporty, the rear fender wasnt just plug and play, if I recall I had to drill new mounting holes in it, otherwise it pretty much bolted on after that. Regards to the tank, its a fatbob tank, completey changed the look of the bike,I used theog speedo mounted on top of the tank,modified to fit.

THat was a nice lookin scoot! Do you have any side view pics with the fat boy fender? That may just be the look I am going for.
Also what type of mods did you do to get it to fit?

I'm definitely going to look further into this mod. I love the way it looks! That rear fender is exactly what I have been looking for! I have already been scouring the bay for either a fatboy or a heritage softail fender. I'll have to check around with some of the local guys too. I know I'll be able to scrounge one up for cheap.
07delux,
Thanks for posting the pics! You have inspired me to do another mod on my bike. Just as I thought I was pretty much finished... I guess these things are never really done...
