better front fender

[gerald martin]

I have a 2015 Freewheeler. the front fender lets so much water and muck get thrown up on the motor that it I hard to keep clean. anyone know of a better fender

A mud flap works real well.

I installed a splash guard, to minimize the damage to the oil cooler. I wanted to keep the bob-tail look, and from the side, the guard is hardly noticeable.





Another route might be a Dyna Switchback front fender. I haven't measured the mounting holes, but it looks like it would fit. If you need a Superior Blue or Amber Whiskey fender, you could *probably* buy one direct through Harley Davidson.

I agree Gerald the stock fender does not look like it will give much protection from road debris , concerned about oil cooler . it looks exposed with short fender . I'm going to check with klock werks on their fender option , will keep you posted .

I was in my garage today, so I measured the mounting tabs on the Dyna and Freewheeler. They DO NOT fit on each others' forks. Sorry :Shrug:

That's going to look great when painted,Wayne. A 16" wheel & tire sure has a different look under that fender,than an 18".

Thanks Clint. I like the 18" wheel . I think the 16" gets covered too much by the rotors.This fender should provide a little more protection from dirt etc .

Do you believe a Freewheeler runs much cooler than a Tri Glide? It does have a much shorter front fender than a TG and also doesn't come with lowers.

I like the splash guard. Did you get it through HD? How does it attach? From the pic I don't see any bolts or anything. Just curious.

What about a TG front fender- I think the slider part #s are the same so the mounting wouldn't be an issue. Would the difference in tire size be a factor?

I agree. An 18" or 19" wheel under that fender would look awesome.

Thats what I'm saying. That wheel in the picture is the 18" Anarchy wheel !
