No, its for the Slim/Blackline. The lower cover is the same for softails. Its the

I see your plastic one has a few gaps and this is where the HD frame cover does a
bit better to conform to the lower edges of the Slim fender near the strut.

HD solo-seat installation kit #52000014
Lower Frame Cover : 49800-10

ECM (upper frame) Cover
--------------------------
#49801-10 : FXST & FLSTSB
#49802-10 : FLST/C/N
#49803-10 : FLSTF/FB
#69200097 : FXS / FLS

Here's a picture of my (obviously modified) covers.



Any questions, just ask....

hope this helps,

Terry

Ok, filler strip done.

I'm pretty happy with this!

@Stinkerbill, having the same minor nightmare with the gap between the frame cover and the fender, would be interested to know what materials you used

Looks like the frame cover you used was not designed for a Blackline/Slim
(FLS) rear fender. It'd probably work fine on a Crossbones or other model
with the wide rear fenders.


The Harley Slim/Blackline frame covers, while slightly more bulky, do
fit the rear fender lines pretty good.

Yeah, although the West Eagle cover is listed as being for the Slim, it's clearly not.

I just used a roll of 2" neoprene which I bought off eBay for a few bucks, glued to the inner edge of the frame cover and trimmed to shape with a knife.

I'm sure spending more time that I did woudl yield a better result too

By the way... LOVE what you're doing to your Slim
