    For the life of me I cannot seem to find simple fenders that I like (or don't like for that matter) for under $250. Does anybody know a website with reasonably priced fenders? I am working on a pretty limited budget.

    I picked up a new (used) front fender on ebay for $22 + $20 shipping for my '82 XJ 650. Has some minor skuffs, but cleaned up nice!

    Are you looking for original, something new, or just something that will fit?

    I would like something new, just to change the look up a bit.

    Hey tank thanks for the tip. Found a couple possibilities in that site, probably gonna go the way of trailer fenders.

    The trailer fenders are cheap so if you screw it up your not out a ton of cash. I bought four all in different widths for $25. Boat shops are great for this, they usually have a few around you can get for a deal.

    $$$ burns a hole in my pocket as fast the next XJ owner (sometimes faster) but $140 or $150 is still WAY steep for me. Hope to come with trailer fender with just a little more radius to the outside edges...
