I seen a glass fender on a bike at a local show but the guy didn't do the work himself and couldn't remember the manufacturer, I have been looking but keep ending up at the same place. heartland.. . . I really don't need a 200 tire. I am gonna take a trip to the local custom shop that did the glass fender and see if they can shed some light. unless someone can point me in the correct direction? I would still like a steel fender if possible... . .

i think it was succesful this afternoon. supposedly there is a classic bobtail fender kit with a light and license plate bracket in the 6-7 hundred dollar range. he was going to check some notes and get back to me some time early in the week. hopefully the search is over.

somebody put a springer on your deuce? well doing the rear fender like mine is a lot of work, you will need some body shop skills and a lot of patience. you must cut the fender split it dow the middle to lower the top, roll the tops down to meet and weld and fit and refit until it looks right, took me a while to get mine right. if you know somebody with a body shop it helps . you can put a 180 on the rear but I used an 18" rim, hard to find a 17x180 tire but you also have to cut the inner fender braces down to clear the tire, also you have to space the rear sprocket out 1/8 inch to clear the side of the tire. go to an 18x 5 1/2" rear wheel it will look better and its easier for choice of tires
heartland has some kits now you might want to look at too. they didn't have anything when I did mine
