I was actually looking at getting one of their Indian fenders as well after I saw some of their pictures on their Facebook page.Hey guys....haven't been a member long but I thought I'd send some pictures....
Have you had any issues with rear suspension travel? It looks like that fender comes much closer to the seat than the stock fender. I was also wondering what kind of distance you have from the top of the fender to the exhaust? I want a pair of vintage bolt-on leather bags but the stock fender is too short.

- December 14, 2014, 22:50:57 PMHi 2beers, yes i did rejet the carb but also done the intake mods at the same time i gutted the exhaust. Added a couple of shims to the needle and drilled the main jet . Runs great now.

- December 11, 2014, 11:04:24 AMThanks, RB! It's an optical illusion, the customer fender made me believe it was lengthened. Mirage exhaust, lol, I've heard of them...
Gutted, completely straight now? So, did you have to rejet the carb?

Drift1, the rear fender is from oldys custom composites, made for a indian. Nazarene, my next move on the bike will be to make air ride deal for the rear. after raking the front and lowering rear with a solid link it is too ruff a ride for my old 66 year old bones.

If you have any questions about it (I had a lot, but couldn't find anyone that had installed one on a Drifter or any Vulcan 800 for that matter) shoot me a message. I'll do my best to answer.
Great looking bike though. I really like the rear fender too.
