Re: Crunched Fender Ideas
Hi Jeff,
I replaced my fender with an off-market fender, the best price I could
find was about 140.00. I took it to an auto body shop to have it painted,
just the fender. It came out OK, only a few bolts.
thanks,
paul

Re: Crunched Fender Ideas
Hey.... Thanks for everyones feedback...
I have found a fender for $150. Cnd. but man oh man... will I do it
again???...if I have flat tube fenders, I really don't have the worries of
a lil' ding here or there...
I posted a poll on our clubs website of who has damaged their fenders, who
hasn't and who wants to, because chicks dig body damage...LOL
and so far 10 ppl have done damage.... 2 that haven't done damage and 2 that
want to, because chicks dig body damage...
I do seriously offroad this thing...I think till I'm sure in my mind, I'll
leave them the way they are ...a sexy distinguished wrinkled fender...
Again thanks everyone =)

Re: Crunched Fender Ideas
Hey.... Thanks for everyones feedback...
I have found a fender for $150. Cnd. but man oh man... will I do it
again???...if I have flat tube fenders, I really don't have the worries of
a lil' ding here or there...
I posted a poll on our clubs website of who has damaged their fenders, who
hasn't and who wants to, because chicks dig body damage...LOL
and so far 10 ppl have done damage.... 2 that haven't done damage and 2 that
want to, because chicks dig body damage...
I do seriously offroad this thing...I think till I'm sure in my mind, I'll
leave them the way they are ...a sexy distinguished wrinkled fender...
Again thanks everyone =)
