Looking to change out the front fender on my FXD before I get it painted. Found a nice Ness one but it's fiberglass. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

I've ran a Sumax fender on the front of my softail for close to 5 years with no trouble from it at all. They're made of composite glass and are supposed to be stronger than regular fiberglass.

Thanks for that link Mark, they have some nice fenders.

 

Fiberglass is for boats......steel is for bikes....just joking.....I have used some fiberglass fenders in the past, would rather use metal, but never had any problems with them.

 

My Jap bike had plastic fenders...never had a problem with them.

Don't be too concerned if the style you want is not available in steel...as long as it is the look you want then use it.

 

On a side note, I drilled some holes in my rear fender to mount my turn signals.

It may be made of steel, but that doesn't mean it's strong! I could mangle that rear fender up like nothing if I wanted to.

I swear that it is thinner and flimsier than the plastic one on my old Jap bike!
