The rear fender is TOP processed and fits perfectly. After installation, the spring travel must be checked due to the depth of the fender! If necessary, the spring travel must be limited accordingly using a spring travel limiter (article number: HD-UNI033)! It can also be helpful to adjust the dampers harder! This requires the original Frames can be shortened and the original struts are no longer needed. We therefore recommend using the short fender struts with the item number HD-SPO006. The fender can only be used in conjunction with a very short single seat (single seat not possible from Sportster 2016) or with one of our seats (Item number: HD-SPO068, HD-SPO069 & HD-SPO113).
This guide is for owners of Harley Davidson XL 1200 C models looking to customize their rear end. The Cult Werk Rear Fender offers a sleek, custom look with precise CNC-machined construction. A key caveat is that modifications to spring travel and the use of specific seats or struts may be required for optimal fit and function.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of installing this rear fender?
The primary benefit is a significant aesthetic upgrade, providing a sleeker, more aggressive, and custom look to your Harley Davidson XL 1200 C.
Do I need to modify my motorcycle's frame?
Depending on the overall customization you are aiming for, frame shortening might be necessary for certain custom builds. The fender itself is designed as a direct replacement for the original.
What kind of seat can I use with this fender?
This fender can only be used in conjunction with a very short single seat or specific Cult Werk seats (Item numbers: HD-SPO068, HD-SPO069 & HD-SPO113).
Is a spring travel limiter always necessary?
It is highly recommended to check spring travel after installation. If the fender is too close to the tire during suspension compression, a spring travel limiter (HD-UNI033) must be used to prevent damage.
Can I use my original fender struts?
No, the original fender struts are no longer needed and cannot be used with this fender. You should use the short fender struts with item number HD-SPO006.
How is the quality of the fender?
The fender is manufactured using modern 5-axis CNC machining centers, ensuring high precision, TOP processing, and a perfect fit.
Will this fender fit other Harley Davidson models?
This specific fender is designed for the Harley Davidson XL 1200 C. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed and may require significant modifications.
Troubleshooting
Fender interferes with rear tire at full suspension compression.
Install a spring travel limiter (article number: HD-UNI033) and/or adjust dampers to a harder setting. Verify that the correct seat and struts are being used.
Mounting holes do not align perfectly.
Ensure you are using the correct Cult Werk fender for your specific Harley Davidson model and that no modifications have been made to the frame or mounting points prior to installation.
Poor fitment with non-specified seats.
This fender is designed for specific single seats. Using incompatible seats will result in poor fitment. Refer to the compatibility list for recommended seats.
