I like those chrome fenders, and they do fit better. When I was talking about replacing the heavy steel one that weighs 4 pounds, I meant this old school one:

It must be. I hear HD is even making oil tanks out of plastic these days...

Seriously, there is a precident - this fender is pretty much a copy of the original XLCR cafe racer fender from the late 70's. JRK5892, that's a nice one. It's interesting what you can do with unlimited funds. I'm just proud of my little $50 plastic fender...
