Default Dented fender

Well it happened. Trike parked in the garage. Moved it back and forth to get the pressure washer out. Somehow I either dropped something or something fell off a shelf on the front fender. Dented it right on top. Has anyone been able to get dent wizard or some other dent repair company to remove dents on a Harley fender. I have to call the dealership tomorrow to see if they have someone to recommend. Has anybody ever seen the dent removed. Triglide is Dark Magic paint. Can’t imagine what anew painted fender will cost.

PDR shops can work magic...fixed both of my kid's cars after local hail storm (100's of dings) - definitely cheaper route - hope you find a place to fix your fender. Keep us posted...

I dropped a piece of wood and put a quarter size dent on my 2017 Limited. Went to Dent Wizard, 15 minutes later fender was good as new. Amazing and totally worked for me.
Good luck.

shop around, prices vary widely.
if there is not a crease in the metal, you can use an english roller trick with a formica roller. they make diff sizes but it is a hand held roller with a rubber wheel used to make sure the formica is pressed firmly on the substrate. you need a soft cushion as a backer, a bag of fine sand would probably work.

+1 for professional dent removal service.
(I have seen miracles from these services)

I expect $75-$150 cost range - your location, local rate, etc.

Let them advise fender removal could be an option ease the repair.

Good luck, let us know the results.
