Cantolina,
What a great idea. I have been contemplating a custom front fender but can't find anyhting that I like. That opens up a whole new book of ideas. That's what I love about this forum there is always someone doing somthing new. Good job

Nice idea, Chuck! Now your Dad's going to want you to do that to his!  Speaking of which, has your Dad's sold yet? Is he really getting a new one? What's the scoop?

Great idea for your bike. It is the best way to fix a bad situation. I would not want it but I am not you.
Custom fenders are not that expensive to make. Just pick a nice fiberglass or metal one you like then cut it up and make it what you want. Just ask Chuck, his is special now too.

I put it on ebay but the top bid was only #$3500. I'd ike to sell it but I ain't giving it away. I'll try some other ideas.

Dad's is getting relisted shortly....didn't get what he wanted to yet....
Tough sell...like a lot of our bikes here...(not mine...lol), his is "show quality", but rides daily....
That's a helluva bike....you don't let it go cheap....
As far as my fender goes...I'm not sure I even like it, but I WAS thinkin about Shark Doctor when the idea came to me....I had the same notion....
At least it'll give me a fender that will protect my engine block while I finish up the new one......I've also got some cool ideas for a NEW custom.....flames outlined in cut-out....THAT'S gonna take a while....but this one will get me thru the season.....I DIDN'T want to go fenderless.....too much risk there for me....but....like Ralph said...EAAAAAASYYYYY.....took me an hour to design and fabricate, and about an hour to prime and paint...BIG fun, no matter how it looks...  |
