Hey, you guys will get some sun next week. It'll be in the 20's but you will get some sun.

I'm still casting my vote for RSD.

Put the RSD on your bike. I'd like to see it.

RSD also makes a regular seat that goes with the fender kit if you don't want the spring set up. It costs about $300. From the sounds of it all you would need to do is mount a PPad to the fender 2up would be an option.
Plus don't forget the second seat doesn't come with the fender kit, it is still a $900 add on. It is still the best looking setup I have seen, but I am hoping this new fender strut from RSD will make this kit the nicer option. I wasn't digging the sweeping strut on the old RSD kit.

I went ahead and ordered the RSD kit from Dr. V today and they said they are on backorder, if that has any weight in your decision. Said they didn't have a time frame for when the parts would be in stock.
the kit u mean fender/struts do they have the rock guard or is that a scam?

i will goto thier website again and look for seats dont recall seein any
ill try again though,2 up is an exspensive sum ***** the whole heartland thing is outrageous they know it too.they also know its the cats **** at the moment,the sweeping struts your referring too those have the slight bend in em like the blue bike at 1st post?stick on seat is good too
heartland and rsd fenders must be well made to stick another person right on fender .

By rock guard I guess you are referring to the Heartland kit, so I am not sure but I believe it comes with all their kits. The RSD kit uses the stock rock guard. I think Skipper has a thread with the new struts from RSD. They look alot shorter and more along the lines of what I am looking for. I am going for the minimal fender look, so even once I receive my RSD kit I plan on modding the fender some. Maybe even seeing if any 9" wide blank will work, cuz LedSled has a badass ribbed style fender that I would really like to get on my scoot.

Actually just found this
