I don't understand why a 4x4 was under your front tire nor how it got lodged without you noticing it. Anyway, I suggest you remove the fender from the bike and try to (gently) straighten by hand. If this doesn't work, consider an aftermarket fender for a custom look. This one looks nice.

I hear you. There's no badge of honor for riding in the cold. I'll ride through most of November but that's it.

I have 45 cut on one end of a 4x4 ,i use it to ride the rear tire on it for my chopper this is the only way i can get a jack under it. After i got done with that bike my dumb *** didn't get it out of the way. By the time i felt it, it was between my tire and fender...

If anyone tried to put me away for 7 months I'd be "bent out'a shape" to. Order a new oem fender and heated gear.

Got it.

A similar thing happened with my Corvette. The car sits low. I have to drive onto wood blocks to get a floor jack under it. One day a block flipped up and smacked the fender well. Didn't cause any damage, but the noise scared the hell out of me.

LOL High 5!

Where the Governors make the license plates.


I put my bike up for the winter also. I won't ride it when the roads are white with salt. In the spring I spend my time waxing it while I wait for 3 good hard rains to clean the pavement off.

Nothing to do with badges and everything to do with passion.

It's definitely not for everyone, that's for sure.
