Available in two configurations—with or without integrated tail light mounting—these struts give you the flexibility to create a clean, minimalist rear profile or integrate lighting for a sleek, modern aesthetic. Machined from billet aluminum and finished to perfection, they're available in machined, polished, black anodized, blue anodized, gold anodized, red anodized, clear anodized, or striking accent combinations (black/blue/gold/red with machined silver faces).

Installation uses your existing mounting hardware for straightforward bolt-on fitment. Whether you're building a stripped-down bobber, a show-winning custom, or simply want to replace tired factory struts with precision-machined alternatives, these fender struts deliver the visual impact and build quality that separates elite Softail builds from the ordinary.

Why Upgrade?

The M8 Softail platform represents Harley's modern vision of classic cruiser styling—but the factory fender struts are pure utility engineering with zero consideration for aesthetics. They work functionally but look dated and uninspired on builds that feature custom wheels, performance suspension, or upgraded swingarms. The Speed Dealer Customs Billet Fender Struts completely reimagine this often-overlooked component as both a functional part and a visual statement piece. If you've invested in a Speed Dealer Customs swingarm, these struts are the perfect complement—they're specifically engineered to match the swingarm's design language, machining quality, and finish options, creating a cohesive rear end that looks like it rolled out of a custom builder's shop rather than assembled from mismatched parts. The precision machining is extraordinary: every surface is CNC-cut to exact tolerances, creating clean lines and flawless geometry that mirrors the quality of your other premium components. But here's the genius—even if you're running a stock factory swingarm or another aftermarket unit, these struts still deliver transformative visual impact. They're a cost-effective way to elevate your Softail's appearance without the commitment and expense of a full swingarm upgrade, and they use your existing mounting hardware for straightforward bolt-on installation. The two tail light configurations give you flexibility based on your build direction: choose the "On Strut" version if you want integrated tail light mounting for a clean, minimalist rear profile with no separate tail light bracket cluttering the fender. This works perfectly for builders running motogadget or other low-profile lighting who want the struts to serve double duty as both structural support and light mounting. Choose the "Not on Strut" version if you're mounting your tail light elsewhere (license plate bracket, under-fender LED strip, etc.) and want the struts to be purely aesthetic components. The finish options are exceptional and mirror what's available on Speed Dealer Customs swingarms: beyond standard machined or polished, you can spec anodized colors (black, blue, gold, red, clear) or the striking accent combinations where the strut body is anodized and the face is machined silver. Speed Dealer Customs performs all anodizing in-house, meaning you can color-match these struts to your wheels, swingarm, triple trees, or other billet components for a professional, cohesive appearance that screams custom without looking garish. The lightweight billet construction delivers strength advantages over factory stamped steel while shedding a bit of unsprung weight—not a huge performance gain on its own, but every ounce counts when you're optimizing chassis dynamics. The anodized finishes provide superior corrosion resistance compared to chrome plating or powder coating, maintaining their appearance through years of riding in all conditions. The approximately 4-week lead time reflects the made-to-order nature—your struts are built specifically for you with individual attention and quality control, and Speed Dealer Customs doesn't offer expedited options because rushing precision machining and finishing compromises quality. Installation is straightforward: these struts use your existing factory mounting points and hardware, so any competent mechanic or mechanically-inclined owner can handle the swap. For Softail owners who've already invested in a Speed Dealer Customs swingarm, these struts are the obvious choice to complete the look—they transform the rear end into a cohesive, precision-engineered assembly that looks like it was designed as a complete system rather than cobbled together from parts. For owners running stock or other swingarms, these struts offer an affordable entry point into the Speed Dealer Customs aesthetic and build quality, delivering show-quality machining and finishes at a fraction of the cost of a full swingarm upgrade. Whether you're building a stripped-down bobber with minimalist lighting, a show-winning custom with perfectly color-matched components, or simply replacing tired factory struts with precision-machined alternatives, the Speed Dealer Customs Billet Fender Struts deliver the visual impact and build quality that elevates your M8 Softail from good to exceptional.
