About National Cycle

National Cycle has manufactured motorcycle windshields in Illinois since 1937, using its own hardcoated Quantum polycarbonate. Windshield choice affects wind noise, buffeting and fatigue more than most riders expect, and National Cycle publishes real height and coverage data to get it right.

Elevate the appearance of your Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy with a National Cycle Cast Fender Tip. This versatile chrome accent is hand-cast using traditional methods, offering a superior finish and durability compared to stamped alternatives. Designed to bolt onto either your front or rear fender, it's an effective way to achieve a custom look.

Why riders pick this

  • Hand-cast chrome for superior finish and longevity
  • Versatile for front or rear fender installation
  • Adds a polished, custom accent to stock fenders
  • Economical way to upgrade your V-twin's style

Transform your Harley Softail Fat Boy with the refined aesthetic of a National Cycle Cast Fender Tip. Crafted through traditional hand-casting, this chrome piece is more robust and visually appealing than standard stamped sheet metal. It's engineered to provide a polished, custom accent to your bike's bodywork, whether you choose to mount it on the front or rear fender.

Premium Hand-Cast Finish

  • Hand-cast chrome construction for enhanced durability and a quality look
  • Economical upgrade that delivers a significant visual impact
  • Versatile design allows for front or rear fender application
  • Adds a custom, finished detail to your V-twin's fenders

Easy Customization for Your Fat Boy

This fender tip is an accessible way to customize your Softail Fat Boy without major modifications. While the tip itself is consistent, the specific mounting method — whether using countersunk exterior screws or concealed hardware — will vary based on your motorcycle's model year and fender design. This ensures a clean and integrated appearance once installed.

Common questions

Can this fender tip be used on both front and rear fenders?

Yes, this National Cycle fender tip is designed for versatile use on either the front or rear fender of compatible Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy models. Please confirm your specific fender shape for best fitment.

What is the difference between cast and stamped fender tips?

Cast fender tips are hand-formed and denser, offering better durability and a more substantial, premium appearance. Stamped tips are generally lighter but can be more prone to dents or creases.

Will the mounting hardware be visible after installation?

Mounting hardware visibility depends on your specific model and fender design. Some applications use visible countersunk screws, while others incorporate concealed mounting points for a cleaner look.

Ehhhhh, it's, , , , , , ok, , , , , read below

OK, First things first, this is a LARGE windscreen. If you are looking for a windscreen that will virtually isolate you from all incoming wind ( and BUGS! ) then this windscreen is GREAT! However, , , it is BIG. I almost sent in a return request though, NOT because of how big it is, but because of how it mounts !!! The bottom 2 "mounting brackets" that attach the screen to the forks, are literally 2 HOSE CLAMPS and 2 plastic brackets. :-/ <br />Of this I was so NOT impressed. I was going to sell my OEM Harley Q.D. tombstone style windscreen, but I will keep it and put it back on after the huge mass of spring / early summer bugs dies off some. This will be a seasonal use windscreen.

Awesome shield

When I received the shield I thought the brackets were a little flimsy but after installing the shield it was solid as a rock. Cuts the wind 95% which I needed for comfort. I'm an older rider and can stick my head to the side to get the wind in my face when wanted. Overall happy with my purchase.

I put it on my Yamaha MT-07

I know this is sacrilege for some, but I put it on my MT-07 with no modifications. It actually looks better than expected. It's a bit further and front than ideal (in front of the headlamp), but I think it's ok. No need to buy handlebar guards now. Seems to be better quality than a Puig I had, which crapped out in high desert winds. This one has attachment for both the handlebars and the fork, so it looks like it's going to stay on there. It feels sturdy. We'll see how it goes. <br /><br />Disclaimer: Your results may vary, use as intended, follow instructions, and use at your own risk.

Excellent product and very quick service.

I am very happy with my purchase of this windshield. It looks to be a very heavy duty windshield and it suits my needs perfectly. Installation was very simple and The hardware looks to be very sturdy. I would recommend this product to a friend. I have not had it long enough to express the durability but it looks like it should last as long as I don't wreck it. Write your review here. It must be at least 25 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
