anyone running a front fender like this...

And does anyone have any experience with Debrix Cycles... good or bad?

Here's a link to the fender

http://www.debrix.com/Ridge-Spartan-...p/11052-k1.htm

It looks as if it would match the rear dyna fender nicely and 6.25 wide so it's a bolt on after you drill the holes.... but the price makes me worry that it is a P.O.S.

I bought a Custom Chrome fender which is a similar style, the Forty. It's 4.75" wide so I will have to use spacers, not a big deal. It's actually at Joe's right now for pc, but here's a link to the company: http://www.customchrome.net/icatalog...aspx?Page=1156. I found one on ebay for $89 shipped.
Check out this thread, US66harley has the same one on his.

I spent around $300.00 for the fender. I ended up cutting the sides a bit for a better look. I also used a wider tire as well(ride improved) for a better fit. My fender is made by Paul Yaffe, http://www.paulyaffeoriginals.com/py...heet-talon.htm, excellent quality.

I am very happy with the new fender, aside from the better look it also stops the dirt from hitting and getting on the engine.

I got this fender recently. It is pretty heavy and looks like it doesnt really need any body work at all. For the price, I am pretty happy with it.

I think Debrix is hit or miss. I installed a Debrix rear fender on my Low Rider and it was a wafer thin piece of junk. Other stuff I have bought from them has been decent.
