Dont blame you at all. I didn't think the "vintage look" is quite the look you're going after. ( but they are cheap)

I'd be willing to donate some Wicked Image black fairing mirrors if interested.

Of course, you would have to drill holes to mount them.

I'm not going to give them to you...unless you are going to use them.

Let me know. They are nice.

I've tossed alot of crap out over the years....some stuff just doesn't sell.

Here is the fender sitting in place. Will need the mounting holes adjusted, and I'm considering grinding off the rivets and welding it for a smooth look.



I forgot how sharp fresh sheet metal can be, blood all over the place. Slow down, slow down.....
weld and grind the rivets.....

Kool I need to look see a picture or google them. I'm partial to spokes, but the 18" front has me going.
