Rocker front fender question
Hi guys,
Just purchased a 08 Rocker before Xmas and it is supposed to be here Monday. Been stock piling parts and going over and over these threads deciding what exactly I want my final product to look like. I went with the Danny Gray seat. Carlini bars. I plan on chopping the rear fender and putting an LED strip along the bottom. Nothing as stunning as Joe What's but I don't have much for body skills and need to keep the costs down. I messaged Joe asking what front fender he went with before chopping it. I also have been looking at the heartland front fender. Could anyone else tell me what fender they are running on this Youtube clip?

Hopefully that works, not sure how to post Youtubes.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated.
As soon as I have all my metal they will be going in for a flat black coat of paint as it needs paint anyways. I couldn't afford a nice shiny new Rocker and stilll do the mods I wanted so after lots of consideration I went with a bike that was laid over with minimal damage and will spend the winter tweaking it to my view of perfection.
O ya, and for all you Rocker haters out there, don't care, don't care, and don't care. I love the Night Train but I like it mostly the way it is, and I wanted something I could make mine....

Jaxx,
It kinda looks like a customized fender from the J & P cycle catalog called Wernimont..not sure. Check out their site and order their catalog there's some cool stuff at no so bad prices, best part is the catalog has over 1000 pages and its free. Don't forget to show your fellow Rocker owners picture of you MASTER PIECE when your done

Thanks guys, I like the look of the Zeel Designs fender but it appears to be even more then the Heartland fender. The Wild Card fender isn't quite what I am looking for, although I have seen it nicely placed on a couple of the Rockers on here. I will check out the J & P site.
Does anyone know what size of fender I should be looking for? I see the Wild Card is 4.25 inches wide. What is the max width I can run? Will a 4.9 inch width fit?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the replies. I had looked at Debrix after I saw their handlebars mentioned but hadn't thought of them for fenders until someone was kind enough to steer me in their direction. I really like the prices at Debrix. Only problem is for me it is really hard to decide if I like a fender till I see it mounted over a rim and tire. I think I am going to risk it though, the prices are just too good.
I am leaning toward one of these:

http://www.debrix.com/Steel-Ridge-Li...p/11063-k1.htm
Any thoughts?

Well I ordered a fender from Debrix. Shipping was very fast, I was very impressed. Unfortunately shipping was not and the fender is not at all how I thought it would be from the pic.
I would worn anyone buying fenders from Debrix that their pics are very hard to judge by. I am a little disappointed but I have it now and not spending the money shipping it back and having another sent.
I ordered: http://www.debrix.com/Steel-Ridge-Li...p/11063-k1.htm
In the pic, from my view, it appeared to have a nice smooth rounded appearance. However, in actuality, it curves out about half an inch from the fenders edge along the side and has a definite "Ridge Line" along the side of the fender that I guess is in the title but not very apparent at all in the pic. Maybe it will look ok when it is mounted.
