i like Wildheart. Sorry for hijack but i just removed my OEM Rocker fender and tomorrow should be cut to make it shorter. I am not sure how far i can go not to have all that **** on my back (when is raining, etc.) Any thoughts? That also related to the Wildheart - do you think such lenght as Wildheart will keep your back clean?
I decided to keep OEM end radius and just cut it above the holes for plate number to get rid of them. I would make it even shorter but will this work?

I guess the way to know is whether or not the mud spray on your back is in a "V" configuration!!

Im not a fan of the super short fenders so the Wildheart is out. Dont like the frenched in plate so that one is out. If I was doing it, probaby the Heartlander, but the Heartbreaker is nice too..

agree, I like the 20", but I don't want **** hitting my back when I'm riding. Guys that have the shorter fender, what has been your experience with debri, sand, pebbles, water, I find it hard to believe that it will make contact with you.
