Nice one Motown, that's about the best pic there is to demonstrate it, tight yes, but not too tight and a great look. It's definitely happening on my bike soon. I love the look, and what swung it for me was that I dont have to change or move the fender, changing it means new paint, moving it means it catches on the tree's

 

bad dad sells a fl fender for 23" and softail specific, I'll be using that when I go to 23, unless I find me a vee rubber 26" ww then its a 26" fat spoke

 

I've looked into the 26'' route and I don't think it's possible without chopping the headstock off , I'm not against doing a rake kit but not prepared to get the saw out.

 

According to hhi the owner is running 6* trees and a 26 no problem. Kewl metal is in the process of releasing trees.
I called covingtons cycle and they said they cut for a 26 and said 6* trees would put the trail far off. But the 4* trees work just a little heavier front end feel. I'd imagine a 26 might work with 4* trees, clearance fender to crash bar.

I'm gonna go 4* and 23 with bad dad fender
