Default Lowered front fender

Here's a shot of my lowered front fender. I've never liked the looks of the highwater front fenders on the Sportsters & Dyna's.

To Kahaone:
there is a break (bend) in the mounting brace where the holes are.
Please look at your fender alittle closer before you start shooting !!!!!!!!!
Have a Great Day

hmph....

OK, I went and looked. There is about 1/2" room to move the hole up. But, I haven't had my fender on there for a while, so I went ahead and put it on.

I never realized how much clearance there is between fender and tire! Certainly more than the 1/2" gained by raising the holes.

So, my idea certainly isn't correct.
You can unwad your panties now (if needed) , I admit my mistake.

I lowered mine by drilling new holes.
