Default Low profile rear fender fxstsb

I have a 1995 fxstsb and the rear fender looks a little goofy how far away from the tire it is, does anyone know of any aftermarket fender struts/ supports that will lower the stock fender, I also have seen a badboy on here with the username 97fxstsb or something that looks pretty good, but it seems he put a larger rear rim on it. Will a larger rim bolt up without mods?

I think you just need to lower it to get the look you want.
Mine is not a Bad Boy but it has been Lowered and has an 18"
rear wheel.

John: I'm sure 97 will see this and reply, but for now I'll hijack. He did throw an 18" wheel on but he also lowered it. Lowering the stance can be done two ways; inexpensive: lowering bolts, or expensive: air ride.

Just slam it with a lowering kit if you go with bolts it is $20 and about 2 hours about same time for Progressive 422's but way more money about 4-500 some times on ebay cheaper and then the final lowering solution is Air ride which will cost over a 1000.00 and up.

If you dont ride two up just do the bolts. I did and they ride fine.

Yea I think il probably go with the bolts, what Do you mean by riding 2 up?, and I am looking to get some black wheels with chrome spokes and an 18" in the rear, any suggestions on how much to lower it and wheel brands, and will I have to do any modding for a larger wheel
