ive searched the past threads and cant find what i'm looking for. I cant sit through one of those "what have you done" 1500 post threads either. I'm not as talented as a lot of the do it yourself guys here, i'm more of a bolt on, bolt off guy. i was wondering if someone makes a rear chopped fender kit with the matching fender rails also? or do I have to bring it to a shop and have it cut to size manually?

 

If you're not able or willing to DIY - I'd say that the bike would need to be taken somewhere to have the frame rails hacked off - they are not a bolt on rear subframe like some other bikes.

The bobbed rear fender is probably available somewhere to buy - but if a mechanic is angle grinding your stuff he/she could do the fender too I guess.

 

yes, i'd have to take it to a shop. I don't have the tools to cut them down. if that's the case, I wont buy an aftermarket fender i'll keep mine, and have it chopped with the rail.

 

West eagle has some nice aftermarket fenders. Pricey though.

 

that fender is from EASYRIDERS ------SHORT BOBBED REAR FENDER----

ebay it or goto the website or google it

if u dont have the tools to chop the rear struts, borrow them save the cash -
if its that much of a pia, then just get it done , but then u wont learn anything lol ..
anyways good luck

and as said above - west eagle also has some shweet rear chops also ..

 

ok, so I found the fenders,cool, not cheap, but doable this winter. tx

 

Did you check out Lick's chopped rear fender?

Solid fender - high quality. I upgraded the tail light to a TT&Co Sparto.

 

I did actually, it made me think I should just chop my stock fender to that size and not cut anything else

 

I'm wondering if you ended up with the West Eagle fender? I am looking at a solo seat fender kit from them - I would like some information about quality and ease of installation from someone who bought one!

Did you see my thread? Do it yourself and learn a lot. Rent an angle grinder and buy a $2 cutting wheel. Borrow or buy a dremel.

I did this mod a few weeks ago. Reconsider trying it yourself.
