May I suggest you go into the Night Train Picture Thread and check out some of the bikes in there. Lot's of custom front fenders. I should be getting mine back from paint sometime this week.
What fender do you have?

Pfft, I tried that,300pages of BS.That nightrain pic thread is pretty much useless. That thread started out good, but the last time I tried to look at it all I found was endless rambling from the same five or six guys. It would take a week to look at all of it, and out of 300 pages, maybe, what, 10% of those are actually of pics? That threadWAS a good idea until it was ruined..

Good stay out here with your ugly *** fender... lol. Ruined, Pfft... man we are like family in there,
share ideas good or bad, help each other out, everyone in there pitches in to help... If someone
needs something we don't sell it to them we give it to them... sounds like your the one that's
ruined.... blackness[sm=loser.gif]

+1

Don't need some thin-skinned, noncreative, "I-need-somebody-to-make-a-decision-for-me" DA in our "ruined" thread anyway. LOL

No flame intended guys. There are some badass bikes in there no doubt, and I'm sure some really goodinfo scatteredhere andthere. I just don't have the time to sift through it. I'm too busy working on my ugly *** femder.[sm=smarty.gif]

I'm just saying the thread name doesn'tdescribe what is going on in there. It should be called the "Nightrain owners discussion" thread....[sm=chattypair.gif] lol

Okay...first of all, we're not the ones that named the thread...we just decided to use it asa platform to have an all-around kickass thread.

Second, instead of doing a search, why don't you just come into the thread and ask your question? It's that easy.

i think the fender you have on there exposes too much of the tire. i would either go with a very short fender at the top like the cross bones.

just my 2 cents

Never seen a non creative person buy something that they had no idea what to do with. I'll sell you a 6'x6' sheet of 1/4" steel for your next project. You can not come up with tons of things to not do with that.

Well I cut the fender much like the long one I said was cool and I didn't like itAT ALL. It looked HUGE. It really overpowered the wheel/tire. I finally came up with this and I think it has a very good balance of fit and function. Its big enough to provide a fair amount of protection but it is small enough toallow the brawn of the big tire and wheel to come through.

Anyway, here it is. I still need to do some touch-up on the belt sander to soften the corners, but you get the idea it. I hope to have it painted in the next week or so...
