FLHX Front Fender Replacement
My 2007 Street Glide has some front fender damage like dents and scrapes (don't ask)! I saw a thread about the fat boy fender on an Road King and I see that the Harley catalogue lists hardware for mounting a fat boy fender on an RK.
Does anyone have a FB fender on an FLHX? Do you have pics? What part numbers are the hardware and the fender? How much $ ? Any prob's with fit?
If reasonable and looks good, I might change it out otherwise I'll repair the damaged fender.
Oh ya, my fairing has some severe scuffs and gouges. Any ideas other than remove and refinish?
By the way, you don't bounce as well at 62 as you did at 18!

Given the damage to the fairing, you would probably save $$$ by repairing the fairing, getting a fender via Ebay and having the parts painted using PPG paint--the PPG codes for HD colors are available.

Don't know how you would repair surface and paint damage without removing it from the bike--it only takes the removal of seven screws. I dropped my bike the day I bought it and scraped up the left side near the fairing mounted mirrors. I used some thin-type Bondo (don't recall the precise name) and had the fairing repainted--looks like new and has held up great for 3+ years. With the fender off, the fairing off, and parts getting painted, it'd be a good time to pull the inner fairing off and have it painted, as well, IMO. May as well get some benefit from your crash while you are at it.

Edit: I got tired of all the white paint, so I bought and installed the HD fairing bra. You might consider the bra if you don't want to fool with the fairing repair now.

I don't remember the exact cost around $350.00. The part #'s are in the P&A Catalog. You could probably get paint cheaper, I just wanted Factory Harley paint.
