Don't take too long, these deals only come a couple times a year!

I just received my strutless chopped rear fender from Bike Parts Outlet and let me tell you, the quality it spot on. It's EXACTLY as pictured/described on the website. It will take cutting the frame horns on my 'Train and a little fabrication, but it is SO badass, it'll be worth it.

RSD Fender/struts/seat cost over a 1k. you'll need to cut the frame struts and maybe even a square where the ecm goes, I can't remember.

Why not just get this and it's all bolt-on, here's the kit I bought and he has 1 left:

I wanted to go RSD at first because of the looks, but it's too much pain honestly and I will be riding 2-up with the wifey, so the snap-on 2 up seat from Heartland is perfect. Plus we'll have the frame struts to support the weight easily on long rides.

Just google Las Vegas Harley, they're the ones selling the cheaper kits on Ebay.

regards,

Dale

I am sure that it has been discussed here some where but aren't 07 and 09 frames the same or is something different to where the 07 kit wouldn't work on an 09?

I was just on Ebay the other day and I saw a kit on there! It is the Chrome struts though.

I talked to Jake at Heartland and he's trading me struts and fenders for what I want for free. I'm going with the shorter fender and wrinkle black struts. Jake rules.
