Thank you. We try. I'm using whatever year fender I had. The fork legs are brand new 2000-something. I think they are 2005. I, of course, tried the fender for fit before painting. Then, when I was messing around, I decided to see what the calipers looked like in place. I had to grind the fender brackets to fit with the calipers. You can't be to careful or use too much forthought.

When I first got my bike a HD dealer damaged mine. I finally went over there a while back, and they ordered a new factory painted fender on their dime. It should be in soon and I sure hope it fits. Never crossed my mind that it might not. Dang. This event was a big reason I just dove in and started doing everything myself.

It is indeed a very good video, but in my case I have mounted the front fender with the wheel ON and fully painted. It was not difficult to fit it back and the on,y precaution I had was to wrap the fender properly with bubbled plastic and slide it into the place. There was no big difficulties nor scratches on it. Your way is of course risk safe.

Hey mike I love watching your videos and the wealth of knowledge you have for older bikes I’m trying to get my hands on a knuckle or a shovel and even though don’t have one I love to watch your show keep it up you are the best even I don’t have an older bikes like your but I do have 4 Harley newer one my older one is a 2001 sporster 1200, and 08 street glide, and a 2015 and 2018 roadglides. I think you should do more of the newer Harley videos Hopefully some day I get to meet you you are to far from my parents house they are in San Diego maybe some day I get to go to one them bike swap meets of bike show and get to meet you or see you on the road. And thanks for your wealth of knowledge for bikes,hope see you on the road

Thank You. I don't have a newer bike than my Shovelhead. Most of what I do is my own. I am retired. I occasionally help out one of my neighbors. But, I'll probably get to meet you at the Long Beach Swap Meet, once it reopens, or one of the other shows.

Maybe the forks weren't lined up straight before you took it apart and the fender was stressed into place. Now, maybe you've got the forks right and the fender will no longer cooperate. This is just a possibility. Everything up there must be installed with no stress. Make sure the fender has no stress when you bolt it on.

Can you install front fender without take out the wheel?
@pacificmike9501
5 жыл бұрын
It depends on the type of fender you have. Sometimes, you can slide a little fender in there without removing the wheel. The large fenders need the wheel removed.

Unplug the plug. Carefully remove the terminal from the plug (probably from the inside of the plug with a jeweler's screwdriver).
