Help with xmas gift for boyfriend
Hello all,
Please bare with me on this. I want to buy my lovely boyfriend a new rear fender for his 01 Dyna Wide Glide. Now heres the problem I have he doesn't want another stock fender (we think they are ugly) he wants a taildragger fender, or street sweeper or what ever the hell they are called. I have been looking for the last 3 weeks for a fender for his bike. Now... I don't have 400 bucks to spend on one and really want a raw one. He has plans to repaint the bike again. I guess what I am asking y'all is where do I get a fender that is not going to cost an arm and leg? And how do I know they will fit his bike. I am totally lost and I keep hinting around to him but sooner or later hes going to get wise something is up. Any help will be great
Thanks

Take a look here http://www.tejasthumpcycles.com/Part...ey_fenders.htm
There are many places that sell raw fenders, and wreckers that will have used ones that he can blast if he is going to paint anyway.I would contact a local bike painter to see where he gets his parts. Or give him a gift certificate for one.
Where are you located? Maybe I can suggest a local wrecker.

taildragger fenders are unique, not likely found in a wrecking yard.

Okay have any of your heard of this company or used them? I talked to him and he said they use the measurements I had... which I have no idea how to go about doing that. I was looking at the very last fender. http://www.oldinc.com/oldysbc.htm

Harleys are made with "tins", metal fenders, and mods should be the same. Plus they (glass fenders) crack, bend, and show imperfections.
