Default FXSTC with Fatbot tins

Here are some pics. of my 91 softail custom with fatboy tins I just finished. I've heard a lot of people say you can't run the front fender with a 21" wheel. They are incorrect. The pizza cutter tire doesn't fill out the width of the fender, but I like the way it stuffs way up inside and there is still about 3/4" between the rubber and fender.

looks good and those fenders look great with a 21" wheel. the only issue with the 21" is the heritage fender it needs to be rocked forward a bit just for looks

I got these from a 96 fatboy. I don't think they need rocked, do they? I know the *** is a little high, but it rides nice like that with me and the O.L. on it. My saddlebags will hide that anyway.

Looks great. I love it when people look and wonder what model it actually is.

I really wasn't looking to dramatically change the look of my bike. I had stretched tanks and like the look of the old skool stock tanks. So, I was looking for a set with nice paint. I came across these on craigslist at a good price and loved the paint, so, I said, why not.

Default very nice.....

You did a great job, love the look and the paint. On my fatboy I wanted to do a 21" but with just an 18" and a 70 series tire I only have an inch left. Is your fender perch higher than mine. Can you get me a measurement from perch bolts to axle on centers. Thanx Kenny..,

That looks great! Awesome bike. I had a 1991 Heritage with a fatboy rear fender and the turn signals removed.

Mine measures 9 and a quarter inches, center of axle to center of fender mount hole. What size tire are you using? I'm running the stock size. 80/90/21.
