Default Changing out Rocker front fender

I have the 21" on the front now and I want to change my fender also. The problem is that the fender is offset. if you look at the fender bracket, it goes straight up on the right side, and has a bend in it on the left side. Any advice on a fender that I could use would be great, or should I go with a narrow fender and somehow get spacers and put them on the left side? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

uhm, i noticed that same thing myself the other day. it's tough to get a fender to align on there man. i guess you can always put some spacers on there to make the one side fit.

Very nice bike! What wheels and handle bars do you have? And how much did you lower the front and back?

I got HDWheels.com to make the wheels for me. I can't remember the name of the bars its been so long ago since I bought them but they are just single post risers with a 15 degree drag bar. I don't have the front lowered yet, but I got the Ness kit and lowered the back end. I appreciate the compliment though.
