Default Cafe tail/Custom rear fender options

Really loving the look of the Japanese style cafe racers - especially the ones that blend Mad Max with brat/cafe style. Been researching some kits and Nice Motorcycle and Easyrider are two foreign companies that produce great looking tail kits - but of course, very difficult to get in the US. This is for a 1998 Sporty btw. Anyone have a source besides the RSD or Burly brand cafe tail sections?

Do you want brat style or café? They're both different. I prefer the brat. You can do it yourself with a welder, just buy the hoop online, or you can get a builder to do it. Look into the Sportster flat track look, big cool factor with the young crowd these days. Paint it accordingly to get that dystopian, post apocalyptic "Fallout 3" look.

biltwell, dime city cycles, and lowbrow customs are good sources for parts

Make one out of lamiated wood. It would look cool as hell. I would put the battery and electrics in it while I'm at it and put in a round oil tank. I need a cb550 project or something...
