Custom rear fender for Cross Bones????

Looking to replace rear fender on Cross Bones with a more traditional short fender or fatboy style rear fender. Anyone have suggestions or fabricators that are making rear fenders for the Cross Bones application?

Any feedback welcome.

There are a couple guys here with Fatboy fenders on their bones. Do a search, and you'll find the threads. It looks real good.

I think any custom fender for the 'Bones needs to be very round in profile, and the issues with a 200 series rear usually lead to a flat topped fender. The Fat Boy rear fender is very square since the upsizing of the tyre, and it's this plus the ducktail that doesn't sit well with aesthetics as most prefer to keep a 'period' style.

If someone stumbles across a rounder section fender, I think it would need 'bobbing' to show off that rubber (at the expense of a dry back..) but this would keep the period 'Old Skool' style.

I keep looking at the Rocker's which is probably a better bet that a FB.

Anyone else got any thoughts?

And how hard is pinstriping? I've got a little gizmo but no *****..!!

I ordered my Roland Sands 200 Fender Kit Sat. Should have it this week...

It is THE fender for the bones.

That RSD fender is definitely on the top of my list of mods. It comes with struts and all the hardware. I am sure WG will post pics and let us know how it went. I bet it looks sick as F**K.
