has anybody put a strutless fender on a softail standard with a 200 tire.i hate the bobtail fender and would like to change it with out spending a fortune.

 

J&P sell several strutless fenders, some under $350.I put a 180 on my 02' you'll use the same width fender I believe.

Jimb,

What front fender is that and where from?

Very nice bike. Black and chrome just like mine. That don't look like a standard motor though.

 

It's a Sumax Dagger I paid $85.00 for it from Jireh Cycles

hey jimb how hard was that fender to install. was it a bolt on or weld on job.any tips would be wonderfull.

 

Both fenders went on easy.I had to drill the holes in the front one and the rear I had to cut out where the ignition module went.Easy to do though.4.5" grinder and a cutting disc.No welding though.

U can do 2 up riding on that fender Jimb? How is it braced then? I am sure you know I am talking about the rear fender. I like that look.

 

It's a strutless rear fender.The sides are are very thick, basically the struts are welded on.My wife has ridden with me several times with no problems.I have a Plug-and-Play sissy bar that mounts to the top of the fender and I have an HD Sundowner seat for when she rides.I'll take some pics and post them later tonight.

First, pull off the stock seat.I have a chrome headed screw to fill the back seat mount on the fender.When I drilled the holes in the fender I used a stock HD seat so I could use a stock seat when I wanted.Take that screw out.

Then I bolt the sissy bar bracket to the 2 mounts I put in the fender.Like I said, use a stock HD seat to lay out your holes.Then I slip on the Sundowner seat and mount the back of the seatthrough the sissy bar bracket to the fender.
