First off Ill admit that I lack the some of the experience and tools so I worked closely with a local shop. This site provided a lot of great ideas and help along the way! I bought the RSD rear tracker kit but had it re shaped to create a better line. To prevent that motocross look I had longer shafts put on my shocks. The bike still rides and feels the same as stock. I ended up having the fender basically fabricated from scratch since I couldnt find anything that caught my eye. Aside from all that I threw on a new seat and some rear LEDS. Pretty happy with the results. I think I should leave this site for a while
Lightafatty- I considered cutting the stock as well as using a russ wernimont stinger but ended up fabricating one from almost scratch. Both the stock and RW were too wide and just not shaped correctly. Plus if I really messed up I knew I'd have a functioncal fender!
Great Job. I really like the outcome of your modifications. Since I plan on buying the RSD Tracker Fender Kit, too, I have a few questions if you don't mind:

What shafts did you use to get that look?

I may be mistaken but isn't that the Roland Sands Vintage Solo Seat that they offer for the tracker fender kit?
