Has any one lowered there late model WG and is using the HD fender edge
LED lights? Just wanted to know if the tire would rub up against the light... I was thinking of the Progressive 11" Shocks.

 

Well mine is a Fat Bob but Im running a '10 WG fender. I also have 10.5 Burlys but it should give you an idea.

 

It looks pretty close in this pic but when you lower the rear, you change the angle of the swing arm. Now when the shocks compress the arc of travel actually moves the tire forward a little as it goes up. Im 220lbs and ride on some pretty crappy roads and I havent had any rubbing issues

 

One more

 

Bike looks really good. I guess 11" shocks would work...

 

Have a '12 WG that went through a lot. I went with the Progression 11" shocks (but went with the Heavy Duty). A concern was how much clearance between the tire and the LED light. Roughly 2 fingers. 2nd setting on the shocks. I'm a big boy (bout 260) and while sitting on the bike, had someone pushing on the rear end to see if it rubbed, minimal flex. Like I said, as long as you get the HD, you should be fine. Will post pics when I get bike out of storage which will happen if this damn winter finally ends!

 

How much mofication is required to put a WG fender on a Fat Bob? Been thinking about doing this to mine.

 

wow that low look looks good

 

No real "modifications" to speak of. Its pretty much a bolt on deal. Not hard at all. There is a bunch of threads about it. Just search "wide glide fender fat bob". The only part that takes a little figuring is the tail light. I just ran an HD Run/Stop/Turn module for my rear signals which is pretty much plug and play, but I like the look of the Edge tail light so used that also. I did the whole swap in a few hours.

 

Just a side note about the LED tail light, atleast for a '12 WG. When I installed mine (the plug-and-play module), the LED light became the brake light and the two side pods were constant and for turn signals only. Never really thought much of it till I was in at the Harley shop checking on another code that came up. Well a code was there in regards to the tail light that I never noticed. Apparently, the bike needs to be connected to the computer and under BCM settings, the 3rd light needs to be turned on in order for all three to light up for brake lights. Was not aware of this as the instruction sheet never said anything about this.... Egh, just a tid bit....
