Do the rear fender siderails offer much support? (Read 89 times)

Greg Serious Thumper Offline Molon Labe Posts: 1251 Southeast PA, uSA Gender:	Do the rear fender siderails offer much support? 03/29/14 at 20:13:36 I have a solo seat. I would like to remove the chrome side rails. I wouldn't carry anything on the rear fender. Do they add much support? Would my fender be flapping in the breeze any more than it already does?

The rails are just there to support the turn signals and bag supports, they don't actually have any fender support, I personally think they don't even need to be there...

I removed mine and moved the turn signals to the plate area in the back and actually bolted on a Harley tour pack (full size) to the fender (just for fun and vacation purpose).

Look at the pics in the 2001 post.

I still take riders, most women weigh less than 160 (??)
