I'm running the shortest one- the Wildheart. Trust me, it looks the coolest, but it truly is "for demonstration purposes only". It does NOT work as an actual fender.
'08 Night Train here as well!

I actually like the fuller fender. I had my stock rear fender laying on padding over the rear tire while installing my Siren II.
It was laying further back down the tire and I loved the look.
If I was going to get a HL setup, it would be the 32" with built-in plate mount.
I think that's the one Rocker_Dan is running.
The shorts ones look great, but I don't need a free back wash in the rain.

Go for the 280 conversion, and then the short one... looks better but only if you can slam it with a air suspension.... so Shotguns needed as well!!
I have the 20", but in any wet roads, be prepared for water down your neck!!

I am debating the same thing. The HL kit is my winter mod this year. I dont ride int he rain and I dont have a front fender so I am leaning towards the shorter one. I agree with JY Kelly the shorter one looks much better. I havent seen the one thats referred to thats longer with built in plate though.
If you go to the HL site they have many pics to dig through. I am not sure if you found that or not yet. Its been a daily stop for me when killing time to check different pics and see what I like and dont like.

Why is that??? I have a $155 phantom pad that my gf sit on. The fender is plenty strong enough to hold her times 2
Besides from getting the "wet back" look, the fender works as a fender....if thats what you mean by demonstration purpose only.
