07 Train Chopped rear fender questions
Guys,
I want to chop the rear fender on my 07 Train....Heartland makes a bolt-on kit for the 07 that includes fender, seat and struts but the sucker is 2000 bucks!! Seems ridiculously high to me but what do I know....the wide tire kit you can buy for about 2k and that has the fender, rim, tire and rear frame. I don't get it.
So my alternative is to use something like a Milwaukee Iron fender or something of the sort and probably have to cut the frame. I want to hear what you guys have done and what you ran into along with pics if you are willing to share.
Thanks.

I put the Milwuakee Iron short slim fender on my 00 night train, All i had to do was cut the horns down flush, The fender slipped right on. Randy at milwaukee iron is extremely helpful. Only problem i was having is finding a seat that fit perfect, so i decided to have a custom one made. I will post pics as soon as the seat is complete.

I bought this fender for $285.00 from V-Twin.J&P also sells them.Measure your fender anr order the same width.Cut off your frame horns and slip it on.

The fender was 7.5(160 fitment), It mounted perfectly to the strut mounts, was a hair loose before paint, but after paint was snug.

I really like the Heartland kit, but how can they charge $2000 for a seat, fender, and struts? That price seems crazy to me.

RE: 07 Train Chopped rear fender questions
I ended up making my fender from a blank, and struts from a design in my head. It still wasn't cheap at the end of the day, but then it's one off. The chromer was the big $$$ expense.
I tried the Milwaukee Iron route first, but what a huge, hugedisappointment that turned out to be.
Kudos to the BBB in Virginia.

RE: 07 Train Chopped rear fender questions
The Heartland kit was the first thing I looked at.Then I saw $785.00 for the fender struts.I don't care if they're made of gold, that's too much.The fender I bought came with the templates to cut the struts off and I didn't have to shim or space anything to get it to fit.
