Thank you for being so helpful! I'm not sure either of those will work though. I definitely want one for behind the solo seat. Maybe I can customize the 2nd one. The one for a Fatboy (not Low), will be too narrow. Again--I can try to alter it to fit.

I ride with my dog too.

We used to ride like this:


But after a wreck we roll in this now:


The fatboy and fatboy low of the same years have the same width rear fender. Only the earlier fatboy (and all early softails) have the narrow fender. Also, all blacklines and Slims have the narrow fender even though they were released after the wide fender became standard on softails with 200 rear tires.

Nice!

That's good to know--might be helpful.

I didn't realize that, you're right!!! I haven't been looking at Fatboys that new, this newer Low kinda just fell into my lap for a great price. I was told only the Low had such a wide rear end. Damn husbands!

So it turns out that rack is made for the thinner rear end, <2010. Back to the drawing board...

one of the guys on the CVO forum bought the solo rack and split it front to back and then mounted a plate on it to made a solo rack for a softtail

Alright thanks, I'll check that out. I'm also working with the parts guy from where I bought the bike. Sounds like what we may have to do. What I'm looking for doesn't seem to exist already modified.
