It seems that folks with full rear fenders are bobbing them and folks with bobbed fenders are searching for full fender replacements. Then I guess there are those that like the Wide Glide duck tail fender the best.

For me, I bobbed the full rear fender on my 2007 FXDL to a Street Bob Style but didn't use the big ugly factory SB tail light but rather the smaller original vintage style tail lamp. looks best to me with a solo seat configuration. Just never liked the duck tail fender style much for some reason.

 

I have the full rear fender but wish I had the Duck tail. I think it's a more stylish look. I don't feel that the full fender performs well either. When I ride on wet roads my back tire throws a huge rooster tail in the air. It's bad enough that it soaked my tour bag and my stuff inside got wet from the bottom up.

 

I love the bobbed fender (after they quit putting the wonky tail lights on them) and for a while considered swapping my full one out, but my full fender has grown on me. A smoked low profile tail light will clean it up just fine.

 

Ducktail for me too. Like Firewoman said it is more stylish, IMO

 

Make mine a duck tail The first aftermarket vendor to offer a painted duck tail fender replacement kit for the '10 and up Wide Glide is gonna make a killing

 

Bobtail has grown on me, chopped looks good on some bikes, but full fender is my preference.

 

I like this one, guess because it's mine and it seems to fit, lol.

 

I took this ugly piece of crap off....





I put this nice full fender on.....Much Better!







I also got rid of the junky Wide Glide front end and the worthless 21" wheel.

 

Yeah Greezey, I like that one you put on better too.

 

Do to my mods extending to putting some hard bags on my bike, I opted to modify a Klockwerks stretched dresser fender to help with the flow. I like long fenders, chopped fenders and stock full fenders, the only fender I don't like is the bob tail fender.
