id like to see a longer wrapped fender, like that of a softail, on a little bobber. if i had a sporty to work with, thats what i would probably do.
but your fender is looking great. good luck with it!

Did you chop the exhaust too? Looks like big radius being chopped.

Are you going to a wider tire also or is it the pic that makes the other fender look so wide?

Nothing done to the pipes, those are just hooker troublemakers with straight cut ends.
and the fender is one from a wrecked bike, so its a stock fender not any wider. I just cant justify a wide tire kit on this bike. Though i see some now and then that look really nice.
