I'm planing on purchasing the Heartlander 200 Rear Fender conversion kit (see attached pics) for my 2018 Softail Slim but I'm having a difficult time finding spoke rims (18x3.5 front and 18x5.5 in the rear. ) that pretty much look like the originals. Heartland recommends 18" rims to achieve the correct look. Does anybody have any recommendations on where to buy these rims?
I went with the ricks rear fender kit on my 18 slim and decided to use the crossbones 16x5 replacement wheel from Harley. I was looking into the heartland but like the no strut look with Ricks. I go the call from Harley that My wheel rear wheel is in, now I just need to find the time to pick it up. I post some pics when I get the rear wheel installed
Looking really good!! I've looked into the Ricks and Thunderbike fenders, picked up a Thunderbike front fender actually. The reason I'm going with the Heartland kit is because of the second seat option. Are you going to lower your bike at all ?

Thank you very much. Yes, I did lower the bike about 2in with the progressive shock. The Ricks fender dropped the rear fender even lower with the design. I'm happy with the end result. It sits about 1 1/2 inches off the rear tire now and is a very comfortable ride. You can see in this pic that it sits pretty low to the rear wheel.
ohh I love the look!!!! Would you mind posting a link to the lowering kit or give me the part number. I've looked but can't find it. Thanks, your bike looks dope.
Thank you. A friend of mine is looking for the ricks fender. Will see if I can get the shock. Length is 12.2", 465 Series is out of stock until next year

Yeah, I got lucky with mine. My local dealer told me I would probably have to wait a bit but it arrived pretty quick. Good luck and keep us posted
So did you ever find the wheels? I’m going through a similar situation and got excited when I saw this thread. Only to find out no one answered the question and the thread went completely off topic.
