Default Breakout fenders options

Opened this thread to ask you which options are on the market in case someone decides to mod BO rear fender. I'm considering this mod myself too.
I saw a few BO with a "non-stock" rear fender yet. Thunderbike and Rick's (Germany) both produce a nice one, what else available out there? 24V posted a nice one on another thread yet to identify.
It might also be useful to check if these fenders fit stock seat or need a seat plate/custom seat and max tyre width allowed. Any help is highly appreciated.

You have the Heartland option as well. It comes with the standard seat but I have seen BSC do some great jobs on making them look a lot better.

Heartland rear fender comes in three lengths too. One is pretty short (called Wildheart from memory) and the longer option allows you to have the licence plate built in to the rear fender. For those that aren't happy going to just a 250 they have a 280 option as well.

Problem for me is the rounded shape of all the aftermarket rear fenders. I'm yet to see one which keeps a similar shape of the OEM one while showing off more of the rear tire. When the bike is slammed I think the OEM fender with a 250 looks pretty spot on.

My sentiment exactly. I personally love the stock fender. It just needs an elite 3 250 to fill it out.

I love the stock fender. Most of the rest just look like a giant thumbnail to me.

I'm staying away from the Heartland Kit for several reasons.

1. It's over priced
2. It's the same kit they're selling to multiple people.

Not only would you be out $2500 but you would have the same thing other people have.

I contacted Brendan at Elite Metal Designs. He has worked with Paul Jr. (Paul Jr Designs... Orange County Choppers) so you could see his work on tv.

I told him what I was wanting, sent him some pics, and he is fabricating it for me....For a lot less than the Heartland Kit.

I am also going to ship him my stock fender so he can have it set up to bolt on my bike when it arrives.

Forgot to mention the Heartland fender on initial post for the same reasons, too pricey and don't like the look. Didn't even consider it in my mind...
Stock fender is nice, no doubt, but I must admit that some aftermarket ones are really bada**...
BTW, nice looking front BSC fender. Guess it'll be hard to have it painted properly to fit the rest of the CVO paint scheme...
