Does anybody know what the purpose is for the hole on the rear part of the Crossbones front fender? I don't have a clue and there aren't any parts for that space in the HD catalog made for a Crossbones. So, what's it for? I'm not taking the front fender off and I'm not sticking a tassled concho over it either!

 

Its for a mud flap or fender extension.

 

my guess was for painting, to hang it up

 

The painting opinion is interesting...maybe that was it. At first I thought it was for a mud flap as already suggested, but Harley doesn't make one for the X-Bones, nor do they make anything for the Bones that would need a hole in the fender. Strange.

 

Maybe the fender is compatible on another model and that particular application does have the option of a flap or extension. If there's an empty hole, a Harley owner is gonna find a way to fill it!

 

It is for painting....

 

That's what I used it for. Haha a mud flap on that little chopped fender. Might need to fab one up for next April 1st.

 

It's where you hook the leash to when you take it for a walk.

 

Hole in fender.

Also on my Night Train?

 

I saw that too. It's weight reduction. That little bit missing is what gets you to 88MPH! Now if I could just figure out this Flux Capacitor...
