Most fenders are mounted to the frames with fender struts. Do you mean a swing arm bag maybe?

If so, you can start here: https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...201567--1#tabs

The Google returned several others as well.

Seeing as there's less aftermarket support for the '18+ Softails than there is for most Japanese bikes at this point you'd have to start with a universal fender and do your own fabrication. If you did that, you'd still have to deal with the swingarm, which looks nothing like a rigid Harley (at least to me). My solution is to hide that ugly mess behind saddlebags.

If you do come up with something, let us know how it worked out.
