The fender in the link uses struts...the price as come down a lot since the last time I looked at them...they were $1500 last year....I may get one now.

I can only go from what I saw on this one occasion...

but from what I saw & felt it seemed to be at least as sturdy as the stock fender, if not better

In fact the bike I saw fitted with this fender was running the harley same harley quick detach sissy/luguage rack as mine, so I assume the bloke had used it for 2 up...

good luck with it...

We installed that fender on our old 2006 Nightrain. It uses the stock struts and can support two up with no problems. This bike is running a 18" rear wheel with a 200 tire and a lowering kit. The front fender is a RWD Long OCF. If you want one pm me and I will work you up the best deal I can.

I went round and round with this fender and that fender...trying to accomplish the same thing...a rounded, rear tire hugging fender that would support a passenger and not require a TON of modifications. I ended up with the RSD Vintage Rear Fender and Struts. Now, my wife is all but 100 lbs, so I'm not worried about the struts being billet aluminum instead of steel. But, they work great. I put a p-pad on the fender with suction cups and away we go. I ended up buying a spare rear fender wiring harness from HD to mount to my side-mount tail/brake light, and turn signals, so I wouldn't have to cut the original. Here's a shot of what it looks like. If you drill a hole in it for the seat bolt stud, you could also mount a seat like the Badlander, etc. I swap back to the stock fender if I want to do that. Takes 4 bolts and unplugging the one light harness to switch to the stock. Pretty easy. I also lowered the rear about 2 inches. Now this is a Crossbones...but it should work with any Softail.
