Think before you move
Ok, i have to vent.
Last night I'm cleaning up the garage to store the SG for winter. After filling it with gas, stabilize fuel, spray a bit of fogging oil in the cylinders and wax the bike, i roll it on the dolly to put it in position for the next 7 months. At this point i forgot to remove a small 4x4 piece of wood i had under the front tire and i roll over it, it gets caught under the front fender and bends the hell out of it chips the paint. DAMN... some one please call me a dumb ***, quick.
Now the question is, do i replace it with a stock fender, or do i look for a custom after market fender. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the perfect time for an upgrade....Winter, so she's gonna be sitting, damage, so you're going to be paying anyways....Might as well do what you want. You're upset now, so might as well make yourself happy.
This is what's referred to as a "Happy Accident"
Or, you could look towards bike or home owners/renters insurance?

Pull the fender back out and using your finger or hand smooth from the inside then go get a bottle of touch up paint and fill the chip. chances are you will be the only 1 who see's this. If it bugs you too much, simply order a stock painted fender....Once you go custom your ability to match is limited with the next little incident.

The spirits are suggesting a new fender. Mine's a Klock Werks. Would look sweet w/ your color.
