Default Is this a Harley Sportstrer Fender?

I was told this is a Harley Sportster Fender. Please take a look at the photos and let me know your thoughts. The fender is 27.5" x 12".

Thank You So Much,
Brian

Gosh, if it is, I'm thinking it's an aftermarket type.

100% After Market. Could fit anything or nothing, including a Jap bike. Honestly if I had to bet $10, I would say Jap or some other Metric like a Triumph.

Does not look like a stock Sportster fender to me. But my experience is limited to the bikes in my signature line. so would say it is not from a 1997 to 2006 Sportster.

It might fit a Sportster, it might be from an older Sportster than the ones I have owned.


It has clips on both sides for brake lines. Most Sportsters do not have dual front brakes. And I have never seen a Sportster fender with clips like that for brake lines. Just did a search on E-bay and doesn't look like any Harley front fenders.

Nope, the fenders from the 60/70's had straight brackets from the fender mounts to the edge of fender.

It looks like an aftermarket fender that "may" fit the sportster front end? I have seen where people put "big bike" style tins on sportsters to try and make them look like big harleys.
