Surprised Rocket Bob was that expensive, probably because he doesn't do Fatboys so yours could have been a one off, good things don't come cheap, you could try Warneke and Faust they're a German company but I don't think they'll be cheap either, another guy you could try is P&D custom bikes in Slinfold near Horsham they do raking and fabrication work they might be able to make you a fender from scatch or modifie your existing one and their place is next to a very good custom painter should you ever need one. Have you thought about the duck tail fender that's on the Harley Nightrains that would probably fit, although a lot of people on here don't like them.
One last thing to consider with a chopped rear fender is to get the right look you've got to lower you bike at least 2" at the back which leaves very little room for suspension travel, you hit a pothole especially with a passenger you better have a strong back, which is the reason I didn't go with a Heartlands kit for my Nightrain, ideal setup is an Airide but that's whole lot more money.

Thanks guys, I will follow up on your suggestions.
Adrenaline Rush, your setup is the look that I'm after. Do you have any photos of where the seat meets the tank. I'm put off by the gap buy yours looks Ok from the angle I've seen. Did you use a different tank bib?
Also, I see from your other messages you had to do some mods with it 2" lowered. Do you think lowering by 1" will avoid the issues and still be Ok with a passenger?
Thanks.

P.S. The signature pic shows seat before modification. I didnt like the gap between the tank!

there's probably an easy way to make a bib or fab something up to make it look better, or take off the fabric and extend the padding for the rsd seat... but it doesn't bother me, when your looking it as a whole bike it fits pretty good.
