Default Front end options.

I've taken the solid wheel off and put a 21 spoked back on. Now the mudguard dilemma. I figured I wont find one in the original colour scheme and can't decide on whether to go with just a fork brace or buy a skinny aftermarket mudguard and spray it black so it doesn't stand out against the tyre. What do you rekon?.

I reckon it'd be nice to now just exactly which kind of bike you're referring to!

Evening!
It was a fair question, plenty of different Softail models with different front ends.

If you're patient something nearly always turns up on eBay.
I've bought two front fenders on eBay for my 09 FXSTC over the years one I chopped and lowered and the most recent one (for the wider rim I'm having built) is the correct colour, black with silver pin stripe.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Yeah fair point. Bit of sarcasm there that's all, just my sense of humour. No offence meant. Probs would have helped if I'd posted a pic but my tablets been struggling with that. Either way its standard forks, not springer.

Sarcasm doesn't go over as well when you're the one asking for help...

But it can be fun when you're giving the help
