rear fender help
My 05 FXST has currently a chopped fender, fender horns were cut and fender mounted to the rear as a rigid , it also has a bobber seat. This is how I bought it.
Now 4 years later, I am tired of the mud, sand, and rain hitting me in the back of the head. I'm a chick and would like to look good when I get off the ride!
The Fender....
I don't want to go wider or very much wider with the fender - just longer - I love the cruiser style (nice wrap look). All the strutless fenders that I like are for the 11" frame (84 to 99 softails) and I need a 11.75 wide strut mount area. Also they ones I do find are 9" wide. Anyone have an opinion on a 9" fender over a 150 tire?
What about solid struts and an after market fender? The jesse james 7.25 wide cruiser is the look I want, but where do I get some new struts that can support this with the correct offset for my frame? I understand that with 11.75 strut mount area the offset for a 7.25 wide fender would be 3.5 inches - not having much luck finding all the parts - any help or advice?
The Seat...
Would love to have a nice seat after the above is dealt with. Don't think the bobber seat would look right with the cruiser fender. Would like a regular solo seat.
The electronics...
Currently the fuse box was relocated further down the inner fender wall. The only thing I might have to deal with in changing the seat will be what do with the power commander and the ignition module.
any advice would be much appreciated.
