With the HHI trees there is about 3" between the fender and the lowers. With stock trees it was less than 1". A lot of it is the design of the Fat Katz fender that is sticking out vs doing a wrapped fender.

Once you go tour pack, you'll never go back. At least that has been the case for me. I laugh when people want their bagger to look "cool". It's a bagger, not a chopper. It's built ride long distances.

If someone doesn't like my tour pack I politely inform them that it is good is my bike and not theirs. Function outweighs form in my case.

As you should. Never owned anything with a batwing and doubt I ever will. The apes are only 17". I'm short but bought the bike from a guy who was 6'7". I was thinking they might be a little high for me but I have been riding wit with those for almost two years. I'm quite accustomed to them.
