Fenders!!!! Please LOOK and READ. 3 Years, 4 Months ago  
Ok.....I am being specific in what i want for a new set of fenders. I see a lot of guys that have some awesome fenders, front and back. But i am having a hard time finding the perfect ones! I want to know if someone can tell me if the Vintage fenders are lower than stock on each sides and the rear. That is what i am looking for, for the front and rear. I want something that has an old school look, especially when I slam it to the ground. I see on SS Custome that they have our stock fender with a 3 inch rear extension. But that leaves me with the stock front fender. And thats not what I want. Low on the sides and rear with an old school look. Going crazy on this for a long time. Thought i would go to the guys i know that could help. So please if you have other than stock fenders and can post a pic PLEASE do, so i can get a bike image of what it really looks like! PLEASE!!!!!!

I did a search for fiberglass fenders and got this one but I am going to have to widen it. Just do a search in motorcycle parts in e-bay you will find a lot of them. You can just search for front fenders and find metal ones too. I also got a dragger fender and a bobber as well. $14 for the dragger was really cheap.

Hi Curt, do you know who the manufacturer / supplier of this fender is? Also, with this fender are you able to fit pillion seat as well or is this one you use for solo riding?

Thanks, ...Emu

I found a guy on eBay last year and bought blanks from him. They were very low on the sides and I had to trim them. I'd say they had about 8inches of side wall. Of course they were steel and heavy; no need for a fender sub-frame on the rear. You may be able to find blanks online and cut them to fit your desired look. JP Cycles also has some fiberglass fenders that are very low, I think they are called Gangsters.

I know my fenders are about 1-2" lower and 2-3" longer, but I have not actually seen the Vintage fenders up close to be able to say if they are any different than stock.
