Fat Katz 13-gauge Pro-Street and Chopper fenders for the aficionados Don Baumunk’s Grass Valley, California based Fat Katz remains a leader in precision handmade, pre- drilled custom fenders constructed from 13-gauge U.S. spun cold rolled steel with fitments from 16” F105 Philly FB300 Rear blank F400 Houston 4.5” ‘Redline’ touring slip-ons right the way up to 32” in classic and full wrap styles. Top-sellers include their ‘Laredo’ full wraps, ‘El Loco’ 32 incher bagger fronts with choice of rears, and fender blanks for custom applications. Seen here are pro-street and chopper custom fender designs that are popular with those looking for a contemporary look that harkens back to the classic styles that have remained popular in international markets and are staging a comeback with the new generation of customizers worldwide. “It seems that pro-street and chopper styles have never gone out of fashion in Europe and elsewhere” says Don. “There hasn’t been the same ‘rush-to- Bagger’ that we’ve seen here in the United States, and with the range of platforms proliferating and the hybrid retro styles that are now emerging, we are seeing an increase in demand for the classic custom designs that were once an industry mainstay.” Available from skinny right up to fat rear end 360s, Don says that “for many builders, aluminum and ABS just don’t cut it anymore. The new generation of riders are looking for authenticity and durability, and in an era in which “quality is the new black,” nothing delivers quite like high grade 13-gauge cold rolled steel. “It is not every workshop that has the skills, experience and equipment to engineer the kind of precision fit and flawless finish that demanding riders are looking for now. Our pedigree goes back to 1979, and our famous ‘Vegas’ fender remains one of the market’s iconic forms - we are seeing that heritage driving a resurgence in dealer sign-ups as a new generation of customizers discover our authentic designs and true American craftsmanship.” These Arlen Ness by Magna Flow chrome mufflers with black accent-cut end caps are said to deliver “custom styling and performance gains with an amazing deep, rich sound quality.” Featuring performance baffles, they are an easy install directly onto the stock head pipes on 2017 FLHT, FLHX, FLHR, FLTRX and FLTRU models; available in black or chrome.
