Like you say the front wheel is smaller and wider on a Classic. I have a Classic front fender I took off my 2006 1100 for sale if you're looking to buy one!

Let me know!

Hi Brian

If you are still looking for a Classic front fender, I have just put mine on ebay! It is black and in really good condition.

Reference fitting it on a Custom can be done. A guy on the US V Star forum has just done it, heres what he said.

Cheers, Stu

Not too hard to do.

What I did:

I made a mounting hole template based off the holes in the fork mount on my original Custom fender. Then, I took the new classic fender, mocked it up on the wheel where wanted it...and marked where the lower bolt would go thru, on both sides of the fender.

With those two holes drilled out, I went back to the bike, and made sure it sat in the forks how I wanted...with enough equal spacing around the wheel...Then I used my template, which worked pretty well, actually. I had to grind a little bit, to get the second set of mount holes to line up, but it wasn't too terrible. Nothing a spade bit, and a dremel couldn't fix.
