FXR Fender Struts Fitment guide and style differences

Explore our guide to our Harley FXR fender struts, featuring fitment instructions and an in-depth look at three styles based on some of my favorite parts: Kimtab wheels and/or 90's ball mill relief designs usually featured on Arlen Ness components.

3d-finned accents

Type 1

Originally designed to mimic the Kimtab wheel fins.

Three ball mill reliefs

Type 2

Made to compliment Ness side covers or fairing. 

Ball Mill Reliefs & 3d-Finned Accents

Type 3

Both 3d-finned accents to mimic Kimtab wheel fins and three ball mill reliefs to compliment Ness side cover or fairing.

RS or RT/RP Struts

Fitment

Early Frames (1982–1987): The frame area where the struts mount may need trimming for proper fitment. These frames specifically require RP/RT struts.

Later Frames: Compatible with RS or RP/RT struts, allowing flexibility based on your setup.

Fitment Notes for FXR Frames (1982-1987)

Early Frames (1982–1987): The frame area where the struts mount may need trimming for proper fitment. These frames specifically require RP/RT struts.

Later Frames: Compatible with RS or RP/RT struts, allowing flexibility based on your setup.

Shock Position

RP/RT struts offer a more upright shock position. If you have a later frame but prefer this positioning, RP/RT struts can be used.

Bag Compatibility

Factory-style clamshell or police bags will not work with RP/RT struts.

Compatible options include Leather Pros bags and Convertible bags for a seamless fit.

Finish

Raw, unfinished ready for different finishes

Made in USA

Made out of 6061 billet aluminum in the USA
