UN-BOBBING A STREET BOB CONELY’S FENDER/SPEED-KINGS CYCLE LIGHTING INSTALL
B
obbed fenders are something you either like or detest. We like them on some bikes and others we don’t. Such is the case with the Dyna Street Bob. The bike is great from the factory with all its muted colors and parts pick, but that rear fender always has us longing for something, well, a bit longer. Our pal John Conely has been building and riding custom bikes for more than two decades, and his ever-expanding line of parts has been killing it for the past year. Such is the case with the Conely’s Super Glide fender, which is manufactured out of custom-gauged fiberglass. The stronger-than-steel fender comes either in a ready-to-paint gel coat or gloss black, which was a perfect match for our Vivid Black Dyna project bike. To finish things off we installed a blacked-out LED taillight with internal turn signals from our dude Steve at Speed-Kings Cycle. Here’s how it all went. HB
1 p We removed the stock bobbed fender from the bike via the four
bolts fastened to the frame rails.
3 p As you can see, the longer fender will do a much better job keep-
ing debris off the rider and bike than the stock bobbed unit did.

2 p Along with it came all of the OEM lighting and ugly right-side
license-plate holder.
4 p The new Conely’s fender was then bolted into place on the Dyna.
