As I noted previously, I'm not impressed with the Zero fender.  I'll also note that it allows road grit to build up on the motor's cooling fins -- definitely not a good thing. 

Fender arrived in the mail yesterday.  Inexpensive, both for the fender and the shipping, but it took a few weeks to get here from China.  Decent quality, and the packaging was fine. 

Can you provide us with a link to the fender?

Actually, it was another member on another thread, and possibly even in the tech section who found it.  But it's ebay, and bizarely, it was ebay.uk, even though it was mailed from China.  I'll try and find it.

Edit: I guess it was Hong Kong.  Anyway, just go on ebay.co.uk and search Harley Rear Fender.  There's a ton of them, all the same as I've got.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone tried the rain guard from the zero shop:

I'm following this thread because here in Holland it's more wet than dry this year unfortunately..

[buutvrij for life]

Hoi Wijnand, i agree with you!

Ik heb zelf iets gemaakt wat op die fender lijkt van Zero zelf.
Echter is dat niet afdoende. Je wordt nog steeds nat van achter en de sevcon controller wordt ook vies..
Die van Zero zelf zal dezelfde problemen geven dus daar heb je niet veel aan...

greetz...

I believe it was my link you were searching for :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Black-Outstanding-Rear-Mudguard-Fender-Accessory-Prevent-For-Harley-/251719364694?hash=item3a9ba4b056:g:cYoAAOSw~FNUZyo~
The link itself doesn't matter that much. This item is sold by many ebay vendors for slightly different prices, although they are probably all made by the same manufacturer. The original thread was here:

I bought the fender mostly to stop pebbles from going into the belt at the engine cogwheel, the zero rainguard would not help anything for that (and it was first sold later than i bought mine).

I don't get wet up on my back with this and the topbox, however, as quixotic stated, it is slightly too short for becoming a perfect rainguard. It is possible though that it could be combined with the Zero one.

I need to remember to get one of these when I pick up my new DSR when it arrives! I ride year around in Seattle!

Nice. I started on a 2013 DS in Seattle, year-round. Make sure to use Eco-mode when it's wet out! Particularly when the leaves fall!

The OEM rear fender or the top rack will at least prevent muddy spray from hitting you from over the tail.

I bought mine off eBay from what seemed to be the only seller who had them in the US and shipped within a couple of days (everyone else seems to be in China or Malaysia,, places that take weeks to a month to deliver). Price was a couple of bucks more expensive, but still something like $15 delivered. Still have to put it, but seems to be a good fir just eyeballing it. Need to make some brackets for the rear...

I'm really interested on how to mount this (or any other aftermarket) fender. The options on the bike are not huge. Anyone who have installed this yet? Love to see the pictures:-)

Just have a look back on the previous pages in this thread.  There are a few photos.

There are some if you browse the forum, here are two more...

Mounting to the existing mudguard is easy, just simply drill a hole or two and use a screw with a big head and or washer. Mounting to the swingarm can be done in several ways, all depending on what kind of struts you can find for the job. I think quixotic solution in this thread is prettier than mine.

I probably should have posted this here:

- New struts for my rear wheel fender, added two pictures...

[Erasmo]

Ooh that looks nice. Are the new mountings sturdier?

[WoadRaider]

Good work yhafting, got to paint those black though. ><

As someone already mentioned, zero now sells a rain guard. I think it's $25.

[Erasmo]

It's a frigging €40 over here -_-

Also why not both.
