Bought my fender from another member on here I believe but its the Shadetree Fender. Have it rattlecan black right now but it flows well. I guess I was a little off drilling the holes but I ended up cutting down the bottom of the fender and re-drilling one of the lower brackets and its perfect.
I heard they changed the brackets a little which is good. The old ones worked but they where a little bit of a pain to fit right. Ended up going with Ebay for a side mount license plate and brake light. Waiting on a connector to finish my turn signals.
The fender itself was a little rough but easy to clean up. Very strong... I actually sat on the fender itself and it wouldn't touch the tire. Have the fender struts I just need to install them. Anyways here are some pics.

Yeah from the factory like that. I'm trying to decide what I want for the rear fender once I get it professionally painted. I want it to look like the factory pinstripes but different at the same time.
Not sure if its a decal or not. There's a slight raised area around the pin striping but its smooth... tried to see if I could feel a lip but there wasn't any. And from what I've been told the black denim paint has no clear coat so I should be able to feel a lip I would think. If anyone else knows I'd appreciate any info as well.

Kadjora,

How big is the load equalizer? I have a springer seat so I had to make sure nothing got crushed when I hit a bump or anything. Got plenty of room for now.
Also as a side note. Since you do have a load EQ im assuming you have LED turn signals somewhere? I bought some LED signals for my bike and I've heard different stories of the newer bikes not needing EQs. I've heard after a while the ECU configures itself to not blink at a faster rate with LEDs and stock bulbs. Just wondering how true that was. I don't mind if my signals blink fast but hopefully I don't have any issues with the LEDs not working or the stock front bulbs not working. Sorry to get off topic.

I have a led's on front and rear. Load eq makes the rear signal run and brake lights. Tmax sits on the fender where the stock one was. Load eq sits nicely on the battery. Love the way that fender fits your bike Kadorja.
