Front Fender Advice for 21" Touring
Looking to get a fender for a new 21" wheel I'm putting on my bike.. I'd like it to be a wrapped fender, that shows most of the wheel. I'm pretty new to custom fenders.. I hear it's not just a bolt on part, but needs some prep work to make it happen, ie: drilling, fitment, etc..
My question is this.. Is there any wrapped fenders out there that require minimal work, besides paint? I'd love to get one that I can get delivered, painted then bolt it on. Is this unrealistic, or do you have experience with a brand/model that was simple to do.
If not, what steps are needed to accomplish a fender install?

Check out Hog Pro. They have one that comes with the chrome mounting brackets. I believe it runs about $ 650.00 for vivid black and for other Stock Harley colors adds about another $ 150.00.
I talked to them about 3 months ago but have not pulled the trigger yet.

I bought the one from HogPro and recommend it. It is not too difficult to mount, I'd suggest drilling the mounting holes before sending it for paint, but I mounted mine after paint and just taped it good with blue painter's tape before drilling. Mount your tire, tape a piece of 3/8" fuel line over the top center section of the tire and put the fender on top of the fuel line, then mark your holes for drilling (start with a small bit and work your way up gradually).
Here's a pic of my bike.

B'COOL also makes some nice wrap fenders - i have their aluminum 26" wrap front fender and required very little body work to get it ready for paint.

I put a Klockworks Wrapper on my bike. Not a 21", but you get the idea. You do have to have a mounting kit to install it, that is around ~89.00. I think it really brings out the custom wheels.
