It’s 45 inches long As we move forward with our ’04 Road King makeover, we were in need of a replacement front fender to fit the taller tire and a dash that fits the stretched gas tank better. We changed out the stock wheels on this bike a while back and knew then we would need to swap out the stock fender with something a little sleeker and not so stock looking. With the new saddlebags and longer fender changing the look of the bike, not to mention that the side panels were stretched to really give the bike a streamlined look, the stock fender would not do.

We rode the bike over to Freedom Cycles in Orange, California, for the install, and in just under two hours, we had the fender and the dash on the bike and ready for paint.
