To be honest, I think there are 1 of 3 things (or a combination of each) that makes my bike look strange.
1. I tired to reduce the gap between the wheel well and the tire, but I think I lowered the fender too much;
2. The struts are too long (I'm actually thinking about getting rid of them); and
3. The seat definitely doesn't work with this fender (I was looking for a new one. I just put it on there just so I could ride it last Sunday)...
With that being said, I've seen this kit on other sportsters without modifying the fender and it looks good. My problem is that I wanted to show more wheel and less fender.
