Your new front fender is asking for a larger profile tire. If ya love the fender then I would trim it down some, closer to what Chaz has. Fender line comes down to where the wheel/tire meet. It doable for sure, hide your fender mounts behind the forks and come straght up from their. Your 'other' seat is thowing it off for me too. That solo was +1 over that 2up with back rest.

Try finding something to s Fatboy fender for the back. That front fender is sweet but it needs a big low fender for the rear. Tha would just make your bike look killer in IMHO.

I too have to agree with Chaz, you have a killer bike but the fender just doesn't look right. JMO like everything is thin and the new fender looks too fat, if that makes any sense

The bike is now begging for a full rear fender. I like the fender, but get a bigger wheel and a fatboy or heritage rear fender to balance it all out.

I think something closer to this could work out great. Real close to what chaz has and his flows just nicely...

Yeah, that would look good too. I still vote for the original though, just flows with the lines better, IMO.

EDIT :: Man, I love those damn apes you have on there though. Wish I had the coin to go that route. It shall be done though, sometime down the road.
