Pete - I believe the standard inner fenders are altered or stamped differently to suit the fibreglass option. Not just a chopped standard rear fender. Forward from say 12 o'clock I believe it's pretty much a standard rear sportster fender for 70 and 71 (in relation to the inner fender we're talking about), but post 12 o'clock I believe it's different or shortened for the application from the factory for a boat tail. Best would be to have a look at an actual example. I have a good friend with a bone stock 71 boatie superglide but that's a way different story. I have a stock (rough) shitty green glass tail for a sportster. It's significantly different to the FX tail so I can't draw any comparrison for mounting applications. Cheers Hayley.
