I'm considering chopping my girlfriend's Nightster rear fender, but I don't think it would look right with the stock seat. I've Googled it and haven't found much. Most that I have seen have the springer seat installed, not the stock seat.

Has anyone cut off the rear fender and retained the stock seat??

Pics would be great!!

 

ive seen guys do it on youtube. it looks terrible

 

I know it looks good with a shorter seat and a spring seat, but I haven't seen one with the stocker. Maybe thats the reason why.

 

Have you tried to look on xlforum.net in their photo gallery? Might find some examples by searching "chop" or "fender".

 

Here is a link to a video on youtube of a guy with a nightster. He left the stock seat and chopped the fender. Skip to 40 sec and you can get a good look at it

Damn that looks weird..

48 seat might not look to bad on it, but that seat sure looks out of place

 

It does look weird!

 

Looks like **** IMO

 

^^^i agree looks like ****. keep the shox and slap a rigid mounted solo seat on there and tell her to suck it up, lol!

 

+1 put the shox back
