Re:Fenders!!!! Please LOOK and READ. 3 Years, 2 Months ago

Anyone running the RoadKrome Lengthened Rear Fender from JP Cycles? It's $100 cheaper than the one through SS Custom Cycle, but saving $100 won't do me much good if it's not strong enough to support a passenger like most of the Baron's fenders.

Ordered my Indian Chief front fender from Bad Dad Customs today, and would like to find a rear before Joel calls and says he's ready for my tins.

Yeah, I know...nothing like a last minute decision to go with custom fenders.

I'm running the front and rear fender from Roadkrome. The quality is pretty good.

Cool. Trying to bring the fender down between the pipes. Almost puts it to the ground... That fender is steel or glass? Rich

The fender is glass. Its maybe a bit thin at the top, but thats me being picky. Next winter its getting cut and stratched. Madjacker made me want a fender thats almost on the ground when the airs out. Weren't you stretching stock fenders?

I thought about it. But SS sells them already done in steel... They're not my favorite company, though. So, if you find an alternative, hook a brotha up... Rich
