On a springer you want a 93 up...88-92 had a different front fender mount ...the fender was VERY high off the tire. Keep looking, there are tons of deals out there right now.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'll hold of until I find something better.

I'm in Houston amd it seems everyone thinks their bike is made of gold. Not a whole lot of deals on softails. Most HD's in the $6,000 range are sportsters.

I'm just going to take my time even though it's killing me not having a bike.

Is your rear fender aftermarket or did you fab it?

It is an aftermarket fender that I modified. Keep looking plenty of deals on EVO's. Non-springer evos rarely sell for more than 6k...notice I said sell...tons of people asking more with no bites. Here is a nice springer just a little out of your price range...may be time for a road trip.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...fdfa2596#v4-42
