Poor man's fender
Poor man's fender
I'm a cheap bastard. I try to support small business as much as I can but sometimes what I want seems to be way more expensive than what I want to spend...and even then, most parts take work to get them to fit the way I want. So, I pick up "throw-away" or take-off parts.
My drop seat rocks several cheap bastard parts.
Front fender I picked up from some FLH. Got it from Ebay for 20 bucks. These are on there alot. When an FLH is lowered too much the fender will smack the lower tree and it's a pretty easy fix.
Hammered out the dent on top & scuffed it up a little to expose the transition from the fender to the skirted sides. Trick I learned from my skateboarding days & regripping my decks.
Highlighted a cut line with a Sharpie
Cut the skirts off
What's left is pretty cool but a little too wide for what I want so I marked 1.5" down the center and cut that section out
Tacked together without the center
Take what you have, make what you want. Put down the catalogue, dig out some old parts & cut em up!
Thanks!
