I've been looking for quite a while for some rear fender kits for my 05 softail standard and still haven't found one that I like enough to pull the trigger on yet. I don't want to convert to a 200 rear tire, I just want a fender that'll hug my 150 nicely and I don't want to convert to a sprung seat either. I really like the looks of the Heartland Wild Heart but can't bring myself to spend $1600. And I'm not a huge fan of the seat. Looking at buying a La Pera bare bones solo.

So far I've looked at:
Heartland USA
Roland Sands
Shadetree fabrications
and some other I didn't like too much and can't remember the names of


Just wondering what you guys are running. Brand names/links would help out if you can supply them.
(on the off chance..) Anyone live in the Tampa Bay Area and know of a shop that'll do quality work?

 

I'm in the same boat as you.

I think there is a possibility that the Softail Slim or Blackline rear fender and struts should fit a 05 and below Softail because they have the narrow rear tire.

Other than that I've thought about chopping the stock fender to look more like a breakout fender or have a custom fender and struts made so I can keep using the bare bones seat I have.

 

Take a look at Dennyo's chopped fender which is the cheapest way to go or you could try this German outfit, not sure if they're any different to Heartlands though.

Here's a UK outfit that makes custom fenders as well as other stuff.

Thanks for the links. Not exactly what I am looking for but I do appreciate the help. I ran across this website earlier and have shot them an email. They have pictures on the website of the fender but not mounted on a bike.

Also, http://www.customchrome.com/dcm/cc/v...ckySucker.html
makes a pretty cool set up "lucky sucker" but the fender needs struts and the curved ones they sell look like crap

 

j and p cycle has a full size fender already predrilled for 05 fxst for 419.99 item # 245-674 pg. 912 in the 2013 catalog , thats what i plan on doing anyway when i oder my hard bags from calvarey customs hope that helps ya some

 

I'm going for a shorter/smaller fender than what I already have. Something as close to the Heartland USA kit as I can get without spending $1600/converting to a bigger tire or converting to a sprung seat

 

Here's Dennyo's bike with his chopped standard duck tail fender if its any help, just need to be good with a power saw.

 

That looks pretty good. Is that bike lowered at all?
