thanks, i have seen that as well.

just looks like you could take the struts from another softail and drill some holes and move factory fender up .

guess if no one has tried yet, i need to break out the tape measure and head to the dealership.

I guess if you like your rocker to look like a dirt bike with a foot between the tire and fender OK..

The Heartland kit does the same. Most will lower the rear end to avoid the moto-cross look.

We just did several at work.The HL kit is a pretty well thought out system.The Rocker is low as it is,not sure I would want it any lower.

Shotgun Shock to the rescue. Slammed or raised, just a switch away.

Just a thought but you could get cvo springer struts and use them with a rwd fender(which is the heartland fender anyway)

fender is only a few hundred dollars...

I don't think that would work. The rwd fender has it's struts molded into the fender, I do believe. What about just buying Heartland struts to mount the stock fender? I'm thinking the fender will have to be cut down in the front and a new rock guard figured out as well.
