Curious if anyone has ever bought a raw steel Deluxe fender and had it painted to match? Please message me if you can help me out.

 

Yep I have.

I bought a Custom Chrome one to put on my Slim - it was recommended to me as they're made of a better gauge steel than others and suffer from fewer imperfections. They also have nicely rolled edges instead of raw cut edges.

It cost me about £90 I think - part number 13251 - 'Front Fender for Heritage Softail Models (about $110 over there).

That part number is for the 'smooth' version, so it's got no pre-drilled holes for front, side or skirt trim, which is what I wanted as I wasn't sure if I wanted chrome trim or just a plain fender (I added trim in the end - just had to carefully measure and drill the mounting holes). They do one WITH the pre-drilled holes if you prefer.

Then there was the spray painting. I took it to a company near me who do a lot of Harley work. The job cost £250 and when I picked it up the painter came out to ask me where I got the fender as he was so impressed with it. Said its the best made/quality aftermarket fender he's seen.

Anyhoo, here's some pics...




This is the 'raw' fender before painting





And here's the finished version

 

That's exactly the info I was looking for...great looking bike!!

Cheers..

Glad to help - and thanks

 

I just got a set of Klockwerks fenders. They haven't been painted or installed yet. (winter mod) I have used them before. A little more expensive but they are nice.

 

Where did you get the Custom Chrome fender? Wondering if they also make a rear fender for a fatboy lo.

 

I ordered it through one of the big European suppliers.

Try their website (http://www.customchrome.com) - they have an online catalogue of all their parts and a dealer locator.

Should be easy enough to find a local dealer who can order it for you.

 

I just bought one from Phat Performance, they had 5% off which made the fender less than $100 with shipping included

 

That is an awesome look !
