yeah havent found them on ebay, been looking for awhile color is black cherry pearl and its kinda hard too find and getting other color is a problem as it will cost a bunch too have them painted, if i wasnt on disability had had more income it wouldnt be a problem, BUT it is.

Are you stuck on the original color??

Does seem a bit soon! I'm giving my 1990 Glide a once over, including newer s/h fenders, the original ones being down right scruffy. I've owned the bike from new and used it year round early on, through winter salt, but that bike is 25 years old now!
Jerry, you can check part numbers on-line here, which will show you what years of fender are a direct replacement. Your front fender in primer for example is #58998-83E, which means it was introduced in 1983 and so a very wide range of years will fit.
That only leaves you with the challenge of the colour! I suspect you will be extremely lucky to find a complete set the same colour as your bike at present, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try! An alternative is to learn how to rattle-can and paint them yourself to give a similar match.

I ride year round here in Pennsylvania and the winter road salts and wet weather are dong a number on the tins. so ill replace them ,But i think ill squirt some undercoating on the bottom of the new tins before install.

Well now you have me paranoid about my tins hahah. I live in maryland and also ride year round. Undercoating sounds like a good solution. good luck with your search.
