New Rear End!
Finally got a chance to take pics of my rear fender swap. What do you all think?
The fender was off a late 90s heritage (??) The parts guy at my local harley dealer sold it to me for 30 bucks. I had to drill out the strut screw holes and cut my mounting brackets but for the most part it bolted right up.
I had all the license plate and other holes filled and the fender painted by a buddy of mine.
I bought the nightster turn signal modulator and swapped the guts out of two front turn signals to make my lights work as brakes, run, and turn signals.
Overall, I'm way happy with how it came out! I like it even better with out the passenger seat but no pics of that yet.

Wow. Are you in SLC? I have never had good service from the dealer here. Also, what shop did the fender fill and paint? I just removed the plate from my rear fender and plan on getting the holes filled and painted this winter.

About the fender, my buddy had to do it under the table as his company "doesn't work on motorcycles". I would ask around at local body shops and collision repair shops. It, so i learned, is a pretty common practice. Prices vary a whole lot, though. so, shop around.
If my friend hadn't offered I would have had Untouchables in Orem do the work for me. They were cheaper than maaco and Id trust them a bit more.. haha
