    oh yeah. No, the rear. Ill fab something for a cheap taillight on top of it, but the fender itself im curious about. I heard someone suggest a boat trailer fender...

    Hey Lou. If you take a look at my gallery, you can see I have two different fenders. The picwhen my bike had a springer seat is a flat trailer fender that I got from Northern Tool. It worked ok. The radius was too small since it was a for a 13" trailer wheel.

    The other pics have a rounded fender. I searched high and low for a fender wide enough to fit between the frame and never found one. I just bought a fender blank off ebay that was around 9" wide. I cut the center out of it and welded the two pieces back together. It looks ok too but I am geting ready to change it one more time. So I guess the fender I have could be available if you were interested. Hope this was helpful and good luck.

    If you have a boat dealer close by, they might have a fender for a boat trailer that will fit. Or Northern Hydrolics sells a nice trailer fender for $21 that makes a perfect replacement for the rear. I used one on my first bobber project and it fits between the frame rail perfect. >PD<
