Default RSD TRACKER rear fender

Bought an RSD tracker rear fender kit and got the rsd vintage solo that goes with it. I will post a thread after I am all done with all the step pictures for anyone who wants the step by step but here is a quick mock up nothing bolted to tightly and the seat just sitting on there for now. I am going to change the bolts for the struts attaching to frame and need to now buy lights and side mount plate and then of course paint.

Thanks I love the train except for the rear fender. Rsd tracker kit bolts right up and simple modification for the ecm and your in business for alot less than Heartland. The new fender makes the bike look even lower and makes the 200mm look bigger because the fender fits the tire better.

I agree on the bob tail not being an attractve look. That fender looks great though.

Nice fender, although there is absolutely nothing wrong with the HD Bobtail.

Where are you putting the ECM? Mine is placed on top of the fender like the stock one. Had to cut the fender and weld a flat spot on it.

The bobtail sucks ***** IMO. But it is just that, my opinion. Oh... and seat springs on a softail are dumb. Again, just my opinion. That last one was out of nowhere but it just bothered me.

Now... that tracker kit is sick and the seat with it is just nuts! I love it. I like the look of the Heartland kit but RSD hooked it up with the Tracker. And that seat, by far, is the best seat I have seen on a softail. That's including the complete custom seats with all the designs and doodads on them.

These are all opinions.
