Strutless Rear Fender
Hi!
I spent the last 10 days researching this topic and haven't found anything satisfactory for an answer. I haven't found many FXD rear fenders. I've found the bobbed fenders, but, I'm really looking for a strutless or hugger rear fender. I've found many that are for the softail, however, I don't much about the differences between the two. Is there a way to bolt up a softail fender to a dyna? I don't want to cut or weld anything in on the bike. I can, but, it's the absolute last resort. My other question is has anyone taken their bike design wise this direction. I haven't found anyone that's really done that to a dyna. Thanks!

This is on a Fat Bob. The rear fender appears to have no struts. The guy is from spain and he states in the comments that he got the fender from custom chrome which I've looked for but cant find. Looks like the bike is lowered with progressive shocks in the back and a strut less fender. Looks awesome. I want to do this to my Fat Bob. If anybody can find this fender please let me know.

There is a member on here that took his stock SB fender and welded mounting tabs to it and mounted it to the frame after he cut the struts off. He has one sick *** bike.

No strut..No rider?
If you cut the strut off a dyna and just put a fender flyin' in the breeze, how is anyone ever going to sit back there? I guess you could break out your torch and weld something up to support it.
After that aren't you still showing your shocks?
I'm thinkin' this why they invented softtails?
In this regard I think the Harley "Good ideas of the decade" is the Streetbob and the '10 wide glide. You've got a nice rubber mounted ride and a decent chopped fender look. HD sales are way down but I hear Streetbob's don't even stay on the floor one day!
