Good time to go with a 21'' from Hog Pro, matching rotors, and a wrapped fender from FBI.

New two tone front fender is $651. The dent in mine would have cost about the same to fix or replace. Insurance co replaced it.

From my experience you'll be hard pressed to find any dealer who does body work and most auto body shops if they're busy won't take on a small job like a bike fender. A new fender from HD would give you the best paint match for the buck.

Looks like I'm going fender shopping.
Figured as much, since the two-tone paint seems hard to match. Plus those jobs, even when using the same paint/techniques, never match up perfectly.
Will keep you posted.

Building a new house. Had to sell the old one. I'll be here for ten/eleven months (or so the contractor says). New house has a garage that'll fit my baby just fine.

New unpainted fender is $299 from the MoCo...I'd ask the dealer/indi shop that will be doing the work what the costs are for each and what other options they might offer rather then going back to stock. Personally, I'd get a new fender and start talking to paint shops about a new paint scheme.
