SO I bought a 2012 electra glide classic last month. The bike sure is purdy.... I noticed whoever had the bike before me strapped down the front fender and put two nice three inch dents in the back of it. I'm really not a fan of the fender to begin with. I am also not a fan of the huge 23" wheels either. What do you guys suggest as a replacement? I'm thinking about white walls also but I don't know if they make a 180 rear whitewall..

 

Dunlop makes the Elite in a whitewall

 

Get an 18 inch wheel, and go with a FatBoy fender, motor company can sell you one that
is painted to match, and Harley sells a mounting adapter kit too.

 

Don't know how low profile you are looking to go, but this is the HD "Street Stalker" fender out of the P & A catalog, painted by the factory.

My front wheel is 19" if that helps you visualize how much of the tire and rim are visible.

I specifically picked this fender so that more of the front wheel was visible, and I really like the look.... A lot leaner looking than the standard FL fender, and I think it visually kind of "lightens up" the look of the front end too.

 

Here are a couple with Fatboy front fenders.

I am digging that Street Stalker too !

 

I put a new take-off Road Glide fender on mine (and SG wheels). Very similar to original, just cleaner looking me thinks.

 

That looks awesome! Gotta put that on my list of " Some day I'll........" mods!

 

I like the stalker and fatboy fender.... I guess I should upload a pic of my bike... I'm kinda going for the " classy " look I think...

 

Street Stalker......18" Airstrike Wheel

 

you could always go with the primed cvo fender painted to match. it is basically the same fender, without any chrome trims on it, and it sits almost an inch closer to the tire.
