Bikers Choice Raw Fatbob Rear Fender Left Chain Cut Big Twin Custom
If you’re after that classic Fat Bob® look — low, wide, and unapologetically muscular — this rear fender is where most custom builds start. The generous profile creates a beefy rear stance that fills the wheel well and gives your Big Twin a planted, custom appearance. Because it’s supplied in raw steel, this fender is a blank canvas: strip it, metal-finish it, seam-weld it, smooth it, and paint it however you like. The left-side chain cutaway is already formed into the panel, saving you the headache of later modifications on chain-drive setups.This isn’t a flashy, chrome-coated display piece — it’s honest, heavy-duty sheetmetal made for riders and builders who prefer to craft their own finish and ride what they built. Whether you’re fabricating a cafe-inspired bobber, a slammed custom cruiser, or a show bike with subtle details, this fender provides the bold starting point.

Fitment & intended use
Made for Big Twin custom applications, this fender is a universal custom part — not a bolt-on for every factory configuration. It is intended for custom fabricators and experienced home builders who will adapt mounting points, tab brackets, or struts to suit their frame, swingarm, and tire combination.Use cases:
Custom Big Twin bobbers and choppers
Show bikes requiring a wide, vintage Fat Bob® silhouette
Restoration projects where the builder wants to replace a damaged OEM panel with a custom blank
Fabrication practice pieces for metalworkers building custom rear ends
Installation & prep notes
Because the fender ships raw, expect to perform metal prep: clean, de-scale, prime, and seam-weld any mounting tabs.
Test-fit before finishing: clamp the fender in place, check chain clearance, and mark welding/mounting positions. The pre-cut left chain area is helpful but may still require minor trimming depending on your sprocket and chainline.
If you plan to run a large tire or tuck the fender tightly, check tire clearance with the wheel at full lock and under suspension sag.
For paint prep: use etch primer on bare steel, then a high-build primer to fill small imperfections before final color or powder coat.
If you want a rusted/patina look, consider sealing the surface after achieving the desired patina to stop further corrosion.
