NCBANDIT the fenders they show on the web page are different than what you have. I like your fenders better than the flared tip they show on the website,
Badass looking for sure your trike is.

Thanks Silveradoman2. The fenders I have also came from Frankenstein. They show the flared tip fenders on the Dressers and Fatboys to match up with the current fender. Whats cool about using the individual fender mounts option is you can switch sides, and by using different combinations of fenders and fender mounts you can change to location of the fender to how I have it, straight on top, or more to the front.

That's nice.
I really am digging the way they look on your ride. It's Sweeeeeeeeet.

Are you going to try and install a trunk or fill the area in the center?
Looks like it's missing something.

Looks like it's missing something.
Since the initial pictures I added a license plate relocation kit just for that reason. It covers about 7 more inches below the fender and gives it a more symmetrical look. Other than that I like the naked look of the kit. I have seen some remove the fender all together and add a rack. Others have filled it in with fiberglass. The fatter and longer the fender the less it looks like something is missing.

No reverse gear or parking brakes come with the kit. I have seen where some have added these though. My bike is light enough where I don't have issues moving it if needed.

This is just what I needed to here about the Frankenstein kit, I order mine yesterday. Some arthritis in my knees and ankles have made ridding my 2 wheeled FXSTC near impossible. I talked to as many people I could find and most of them pointed me towards the Frankenstein Kit. I want to keep my softail custom and I want to be able to ride it. Now the learning curve I have been hearing about.

Nice, what area are you in? Did you change the triple tree for a easy steer?
