DNA has a reputation for having "quality issues" with their fat spoke wheels. This is the 3rd set I've run on bikes and never an issue. I would suspect that reported problems were not as frequent as internet forums would have you believe

Fender.

Other than that, you're bike has the perfect amount of chrome on it. I wish I had mine like that...rims, oil tank, struts, swing arm, belt guard and sprocket. Sweet!

I'd go with the fender, too. W/o fender the bike is obviously missing something.

If that is a 21" with a stock fatboy fender I recommend the brackets that are made to raise the fatboy fender for the 21" wheel to ensure no rubbing.

The part number in chrome is 1410-0066

Joe, thanks for your business, it is greatly apprecaited. These should ship out Monday or Tuesday.

Definately with the fender. That's a great looking ride.

i agree, but then again i have a different bike style... i just ordered my new wheels (18 rear 21 front). i will be going with no fender, but i will also be going with a 140 front tire to make it look big (closer to a 23") .

the fender will look good on yours (since you have a full rear fender), i think when you have a chopper (bobber / chopper) style rear fender the front looks better fenderless. just my opinion though, to each their own

I vote to keep the fender in the bike's current form. If you had a chopped rear fender, no fender up front would look ok.
