Fender rant
I just have to vent a little here...There's something telling me that I shouldn't put a CVO style fender on the back of my FLHTC. I waited for 10 weeks for Yaffe Chupa CVO fender to ship before finally giving up and canceling the order. So then I decide to go with the TopShop Minister CVO fender, well enough, they had it in stock and got it shipped out to me within a few days....great I thought..I'll have it in time to get the fender to ensure fitment, then off to the painter with all the body parts for a new paint job...that was at the beginning of February!!!!!! The fender shipped on 5 Feb 2014 and the darn USPS seems to have lost it in transit somewhere...shipment tracking show it as being processed at Souix Falls, SD on 5 Feb, but where is it now???? Hell I don't know and neither do they...telling me I have to wait at least 45 days to file a claim!!!! Oh well, maybe the CVO fender isn't in my future for this riding season.........

I hope you didn't order the Yaffe fender......He has some great products but horrible delivery timelines.......do a web search and you'll find plenty of rants about waiting and waiting and waiting for Yaffe products to ship....wish I had done that before I wasted the 10 weeks. Anyways....I digress.....

Just like Performance machine they don't "make" stuff until something is ordered..If it was my business I would always have 2 on hand but hey they are the rich guys...

I'm in Sioux Falls, haven't seen it 
A buddy of mine (here in town) wants the same Top Shop Minister fender for his SG. He'll be happy to know they at least get this far when shipped, lol.

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! 8 weeks with USPS Priority Mail and still no fender, tracking number is worthless as it still only shows processed in SD. Man, I guess it's really not in the cards for me to have a CVO style rear fender on this bike! Decided to just leave the stock fender on for now and get the rest of the bike painted. Now the painter is 3 weeks into a 10 day job!!!!
Sorry I just had to vent more............
