So I want to convert to this kit:
http://shadetreefabrications.com/store/softail-parts/99-and-up-narrow-tire-fender-conversion-kit-for-softails/
But my gf is upset because it eliminates the passenger seat. Is there a seat similar to the rocker c passenger seat that can fit a slim? Can the rocket c passenger seat setup fit my slim?
I basically need a solution where I can have my rear fender conversion but have a detachable passenger seat. Any help would be apprec. Please provide links where I can buy with your response. Thanks in advance
The Rocker uses a 240 rear tire and your slim is a 140. There is no way the Rocker part will even come close to fitting. Might be time for the gf to get her own bike.
It's a nice look, but it's designed to bob you out. No passenger. Plus if you mounted that Rocker C set up somehow, you'd pretty much be obscuring the look you're going for, IMHO.
Totally agree SoCal, that's why I'd want it easily detachable or removable if possible. Don't get me wrong I hate the look it would just be temp while I ride with my girl. Just trying to get the best of both worlds but I can't seem to find a solution. If you convert the rear like that it seems like u just have to give up having a passenger I guess?

Kinda. But I'm a guy on crutches till I can ride again in about a month, so my judgement is not so great right now. haha.
I did see a Slim in the "show us your pics" thread, kinda early in the thread, that had mounted a rocker c passenger set up. I believe it was with the stock fender though. Might want to scan that thread.
I do think a Slim looks real cool bobbed out with a fender conversion, not necessarily the huge rear tire thing, more a classic bob like you are going for.
