Theres been plenty of varying opinions on this forum. I happen to like the ride, It feels a little sportier and lighter upfront.

That's a great pic 04harleyboy posted. Definitely use it as a guide.

Like Shooter posted, there are some pretty wide tolerances on these fenders. I was not able to open up the rear mounting hole enough to get 1/4" of clearance. I ended up having to weld in the Native Custom Baggers brackets and repaint. I've read where other people were able to bolt the wheel on and not touch the fender.

Bottom line is, check the clearance then re-check it and do what you have to do to make it safe.
