Default front fender
Anyone running a non stock front fender?
Mostly interested in a fender with a little bit of side on it, like a RK or 50's style fender.
Please post pics.

No body has a pic of a skirted type fender on a Sportster?
The only ones I found were drawn in with photoshop.

Most skirted front fenders ive seen on sportsters have been on wideglide conversions.I converted my sportster to a wideglide but im not currently running the front fender.Cant make up my mind whether im going to run the fat front wheel or not.
