If it were me, I would stick with the stock fender. I've always found it funny looking when the front fender hangs way lower than the rear (which would happen if you put a Deluxe style fender on there). Once you get the shotgun shock on, they should line up almost perfectly, which will have a bad *** look in my opinion. So, again, I say stay with stock, but that's just my opinion. Why not, instead of using the money for the front fender, use it to go ahead and go for Stage II?

I checked eBay & they lil on crack atm.

Yes...after sleeping on it, the klock werks feels groovy. Going to order it up today.

The stock being back ordered is a blessing in disguise. The heritage front fender was the very first step I took in evolving a game plan...now more I think about it and know the look I am after, klock works makes more sense.

Once again my evolving babble.

Heh bud motor is a stage 2+...done with motor for a long time.

Ya I agree stock goes very well with that rear set up. Thing is I want to beef up the front as much as possible to make my part time wimpshield feel at home...and good for a old skool cruiser look.

I can always swap between fenders for the mood also.

Ummm... The stock fatboy fender sits lower than the rear does, and the rear is also mounted higher.

Once shotgun'd...there is about 4" drop in rear to play with plus w/ 3" stretch in the new rear fender...it should line up nice to stock front if left on.

Shoot, then just go for the SE 120R

Either way man, I'm sure it will look bad ***. You've definitely done good **** so far.

Thanx man for the props.

120? Lol....means I would gave to go to skool to look after it.

Can't wait until all said and done...then spring to hop on the badboy and never look back.

I should buy everyone a real 'Canadian' beer for putting up with me and helping out this winter.

New front fender arrived yesterday....I crudely photoshoped
on to get a sense of what it may look like while waiting...I think it will look da bomb once done. Also I went with a 21" instead of 16-18....it just didn't look right sitting low on the tire from google pics I seen.
