Mixing fender colors on a Nightster
I have a black denim/silver denim 2007 Nightster I picked up gently used. It's missing the front fender. I found a glossy black one for a good price, and am wondering how it will look with my bike. Here's a composite picture put together usingPhotoshop and the pictures on Harley's website. I think it looks kinda cool, but I'm not particularly good with colors. I'd appreciate hearing some opinions.Thanks.

Yeah, it's a glossy black -- and you're probably right about it looking funny. Oh, well...

You could always get the gloss fender and rattle can it withsatin black. Just make sure you rough it up well so the new paint will stick. the satin might be a bit glossy as compared to the rest of the bike atfirst but it'll eventually wear in to match.

I wish you the best on getting your fender paint right. The others are right,glossy would look a little different. Try to find the denim color somewhere, that might help.
