Nightrain Rear Fender Help
Hello everyone, this is my first post so please don't mind if I sound a lil noobish but have been reading your threads on this forum for weeks and have been getting some kick *** ideas.
I have an 08 Softail Nightrain. I am going to post pics to this post in a few minutes, but just couldn't wait and wanted to get some input from you guys.
I am working on my rear fender this winter and I took the stock rear fender completely off. The style I am going for is the heartland style rear fender for the 200 rear end, something nice and short, clean etc. Something like this:
Now, I am looking for an alternative because I'm not in the mood to spend $1800 on it. I have looked on ebay and I have yet to find one exactly or close to this. But that is definitely the style I want. No doubt.
From reading some of your posts on this forum, I saw some people went with the milwaukeeiron and the rolandsands. I like the roland one, but I do not want that spring seat. I just bought a nice Lepeira bare bones solo seat, so was even hoping to keep using that and just tap a bolt hole in the fender prior to painting etc.
Can you guys post pics, info, links, or help em out with this. I hope I explained myself correctly. I have money to spend, but not looking to over due it, when I can get something very close to my goal, for over half the price. So if you can let me know on ease of installation etc. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
- Joe

RSD makes an alternate seat to the spring seat to go with the Vintage fender kit. Heartland is spendy but nice stuff too. It really depends on how much mocking up and making everything fir you want to do. If you wnat discounted pricing on any of this stuff let me know, I can hook you up.

I second Dr V, I just ordered mine from him and he has it cheaper than the $599, also he has the Heartland kit cheaper than $1,999. Give him a shout and he will get back to you quick. Like I said in another thread the steel strut RSD kit is on backorder so get on the list ASAP.

No Heartland kits available in the UK, so I built my own!
All parts available in many of the aftermarket catalogues. Mine came from Motorcycle Warehouse (European company) but I'm pretty certain that you can get similar stuff and no doubt will have a much broader range than we can get!
