I've always preferred rotors that are as minimal as possible, so they don't hide the wheels.

Does anyone know how that Bitchen Seats "Fender Support System" works?
Is it designed to be used with their seat or can it be used with an FXCW seat too? Almost looks like its a cheaper alternative to the Heartland system.

The passenger pillion is mounted via suction cups, if you look close enough to the fender support picture you can see the suction cups. I believe you could get any pillion pad that mounts with suction cups as long as you have the fender supports in place. A few examples are:

Biker's Friend
Phantom Pads

Don't believe they would be very comfortable for any long trips.

It uses this fender support system ($450), the Bitchin Seat ($1,000), and the passenger seat (couldn't find a price, but I am guessing $500 plus).
I dont get it??...how does it work? does that strut on the side stop the fender and the pillion moving up & down?...

and the main seat is touching the fender?? what damage will that do?

While it may work with no damage to the fender, it would still be a very rough ride for a passenger... like riding a hard tail.

$1400 Bitchin' Seat Custom Rocker Solo w Bull Hide
$ 450 Bitchin' Seat Fender Support System
$1850 total for Bitchin' Seat solution, ready for pillion pad

$1800 Heartland E-Z Rock-R Conversion Kit
$ 450 paint fender & rock guards to match
$2250 total for Heartland solution, ready for pillion pad

To me, just $400 more for the Heartland kit is worth it, especially since the passenger would have a more comfortable ride and the overall look is MUCH better, IMHO.

Because I do not use the 2-up that often I went with it because: 1) the HD System is easy to put on and take off, 2) I can use the HD System without the passenger seat for travel, and 3) I can use my Danny Gray for most of my other riding up to 3 days as I have a bag that goes on the handlebars and a solo bag.

The HD 2-up is half the cost of either the Bitchin Seat or Heartland alternatives. I like both the other alternatives myself. The choices depend on your needs and your pocket book.

I agree with AustinHarley that the Bithcin Seat alternative would be like riding a hard tail. It may be even worse because the movement is isolated in the swing arm.

Whatever you choose, we want to see pictures when it is done.
