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.
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.
Type 1: 3d-finned accents
Originally designed to mimic the Kimtab wheel fins.
Type 2: Three ball mill reliefs
Made to compliment Ness side covers or fairing.
Type 3: Ball Mill Reliefs & 3d-Finned Accents
Both 3d-finned accents to mimic Kimtab wheel fins and three ball mill reliefs to compliment Ness side cover or fairing.
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.
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.
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.
Raw, unfinished ready for different finishes. If you would like a high-polished finish, please reach out to us.
Made out of 6061 billet aluminum in the USA
