they could have easily offered a bike of this style, rather than 6 others with the same look.

@stormin08 I have to believe that H-D would have sold considerably more Low Rider Ss with your rear fender mod. I'm guessing they were intent on using their stock of standard fender and taillight/license plate assemblies. I would love to have your mod along with mid foot controls moved down and back.

that was kind of my point, it wouldnt be a LRS, but yet another model option that didnt have a dumpy rear end. the Fatboy and breakout fender have a very slight style cue to these fenders...but it just wasnt enough for me.
a rear set or lower mid set control would be pretty interesting.

My ninja 1000 sport touring. I had to do the seat and bar extension’s to get comfortable.
I also did the peg lowering kit. Too bad there was not something similar and so easy to install for the fxlrs. It lowered the pegs a little over an inch.

nice work, I like it a lot, especially since I find that the original mounting with the plate perched on the fender is really horrible as well as the original light too prominent ...
but why didn't you try a Fat Bob fender?
