Extended Rear Fender
#21
There definitely appears to be a division amongst fans of the stretched fender. I prefer the ones which tend to come back down at an angle; maybe not as shallow as the end of the stocker, but definitely a "tail". Even better if it's got a little bit of flare to it as well (wider at the bottom). The ones which wrap around remind me of a dog with its tail between its legs. You're obviously in the other camp.
Either way, it's a nice job. Well done.

Here's my contribution to this thread although my bike is a 2015 Fatboy.
I measured 9.5 inches from tip of the rear fender to in between the 3 holes of the license plate mount and the tail light. I then measured 10 inches from that same point to the middle of the donor fender for the extension and I still have 4 inches clearance from the ground. I asked my guy to cover the tail light hole and that license plate holes. My bike is lowered 1.5 inches using lowering collars but I plan to get shotgun shock later when I have the funds. I temporarily mount my license plate on the left passenger peg while waiting for the Kuryakyn vertical side mount. I have the $35 dollar axle mount but I cant figure out how to mount it on the peg. IL do it later and compare the kuryakyn one. My fatboy has the stock bullet turnsignals with CD dynamic clusters amber/red. Some pics.

Stealth is more like it (;

Those bullets are stockers with custom dynamics LEDs. They're stock 1156 socket but I purchased the dynamic clusters wherein there are extra 2 wires that you need to tap to running and brake light wires, it's pretty simple actually.
I don't have a better picture right now of the rear fender but that definitely does not wrapped around the fender to look like a dog's tail. The tip flares out so very slightly and it's level to the bottom of the cholos. It's one of those details that I was very meticulous... it may have that illusion but if you examine closely you'll be very wrong. I will probably put a kuryakyn rear fender trim to give it justice since im yet to install the front heritage fender with trims.

Man, I think eBay is your friend. Im changing my smoke-lens with frenched trim rings. I have those already but haven't installed them yet. Just look for any deuce-style bullet turn signals I think those cost around $24. Im not sure if you can relocate your stockers to the struts but possible I guess since HD sells the relocation kit when installing the sissy bars. Good luck. I still have a long way to go as far as mods compared to yours.
