Ok my opinion , but the M8 Fatty got spoiled with the Breakout esque rear end, love what HD done with wheels Headlight nacelle
Found this today done by Geelong HD in Oz, stock Fatty look killer/classy with this rear, surprised the aftermarket not offering this, perhaps HD should?

 

i see what you mean, but I really dig the bobbed fender on my M8 Fattie

 

I'm with you. And since I have a 240 rear tire, I like showing it off.

The FB rear fender too high for my likening, looks like it belongs on a dirt bike. It needs chopped and lowered. I do like what the OP posted, though.
Photo below is probably best mods I've seen doen to a M8 FB so far, like to see maybe 12" apes on it tho.

 

I like the stock rear fender too.

 

I prefer the Bobbed fender.
Plus it makes changing a rear tire much easier.
Pulled the pics. Definitely not a fan, especially with them replacing the disc wheels. I prefer stock by a mile.

 

I liked the Fat Boy fender so I put one on my Softail Custom.
But the wide one pictured looks to much like a WWII German helmet.
Maybe once the plate and brake light are installed it'll break it up.

 

For those that were torn between the Heritage and Fatboy, this would be a great set up. Add some bags and a screen, and flare the front fender to match...its almost a Fat Heritage...

 

Funny conicidence.
In Bogan's monkeybike video you can see Geelong in the middle of working on that long fender fat boy
