Check out Shadetree Fabricators. They will custom make a bobber fender for your bike with struts for well under a grand. I almost had them make one for my blackline (same fender as the Slim), but I ended up buying another motorcycle.
A SlimLuxe, or a Slimitage... I love it. I wonder if that could be done with the stock Slim fender struts instead of the chrome strut covers...
yeah looks awesome. I tried using the stock struts on the heritage fender and they didnt line up. chrome struts aren't too bad though and a little powder coat or paint can change that up real fast.
when i mounted the heritage struts to my bike i tried to use the stock slim seat but it didnt sit right and i wasnt going to cut into my slim seat. so i ended up getting the le pera barebones seat. Nameless. cut the struts down like how ryan reed has his deluxes. wicked sick! eventually ill fully custom my slim like that. check out his stuff on Instagram you wont be disappointed. nameless_hd

does anyone know where i can get a replacement rear fender for the softail slim? i loved the bobber look but i threw a rack on the back and decided to stick with the bobber style.i also added that spring solo seat and decided i wasnt a fan of it. now im looking to get rid of that too . i had to drill holes into my fender and figured i would just start over. if not that stock fender does anyone know where i can get a bobber style fender using the same struts or similar?
cheers
kyle!
Are you looking to sell your solo springer seat?? I have been looking for a used deal on one!
