Default ATTN DREW-fender mount

hey Drew,

Do you sell a fairly simple kit for mounting a rear fender to the swingarm of a softail (fatboy)? I want my custom fender to sit close to the tire but do not want my tire to rub every time I run over a rock.

Thanks.

The only thing that really comes to mind the Shadetree fabrications setup designed for the cross bones. I don't sell it and have read varying reviews. Some people have had issues with their welds breaking. Here is a link.

For that price, I'd save and get a shotgun shock.

I'm running the Shadetree set up...
there were some issues with the original design as Drew mentioned..... it happened to me!

I replaced it with the new cast piece and have not had any issues...it's a lot sturdier...

Heartland makes a bobber kit, but I think he is just looking for a fender to sit low on the fender. Let's see what you can find Mimo. I need all the help I can get!
