Default Poor Mans Heartland Found!!!

Guys! I did it! I found the rear fender I have been searching for! It's $150 shipped. Looks like its fiberglass. Use your stock horns and run a bare bones seat. Simple cheap and looks great! Sucks it takes 3 weeks but who cares. It won't cost you $2200 like the heartland kit! Here is the eBay link!

Yeah I did have a look at them but the just don't have that short look I want like the heartland does. They look too stock and almost like a Duece fender. But thanks man for the idea! I think I might roll the dice on it.......even though it's fiberglass. Would suck though if it cracked doing 80mph and my butt hits the tire...

Yeah.....I think I will get it! You guy think I can/ should use the washer type threaded things that already hold on my stock steel fender? Or is there are right way to mount a fiberglass one?

Ok duh it mounts like my old dyna did. if you look at this link its number 16. that will give the inside of the fender support. im so close to pulling the trigger on this!

Its an idea, but if your out one night and get hitched up and forget its Fiberglas and she decides to come home with you? As we have all done it before picked up a lady with no rear pillion seat on, as she wants to ride with you seat or no seat. So a crack will be a definite or a contribution to a crack.

Hope that helps with your decision

Before you pull the trigger on the fiberglass.....you can probably find a fatboy fender cheaper than that. If you pull the strut covers off, the actual struts are much shorter. Then you can chop the fatboy fender way down.....
