New fender required !!!!!!

Yes it was me !! I was the daft lad who shunted the rear of Richies bike on todays rideout to Northumberland ! My apologies again Richie.

So i now need a new fender for my Roadking, sprayed and complete with decor trim.

I cant afford to take out a second mortgage on the price Just Harleys will quote me

Any of you guys know of a good spares dealers that you have used and got good service at a good price ?

cheers lads

Kitch ( aka John )

Re: New fender required !!!!!!

May be best (cheapest) to get one off ebay and then get it sprayed yourself, using whatever you can off the old one like the "Roadking" on the sides if they are not on the replacement one.

harley davidson front fender, Parts Accessories - buy and sell on eBay Motors

Re: New fender required !!!!!!

bad luck!!!

if the fender is not that badly damaged and it is not a fancy custom job with flames etc....take it to a car body shop. They will be able to get it into shape and match the paint shade.... respray it for a fraction of the route you are already talking about......wave cash and a bottle of Scotch at the boss....

Only go to the dealership for a matchpot of touch-up paint, if it is a newish bike. Then take that to the panelbeater...

I am having the Shovel painted by the nearest car body shop to me for a FRACTION of what ''Harley painters'' charge. Think laterally....unless it is a three grand ghost flames show job, it is only paint.

(5 years ago, I discovered that the ''custom Harley airbrush artist'' near me in Newcastle had **ALL** his paint basework done by an old bloke after hours at a car respray joint for cash in the pocket....so i cut out that middleman dead quick... )

Re: New fender required !!!!!!

John I am glad that you and Ritchie are ok, you can always replace a bit of metal, but not your mates !

I dropped my Road King a while back and bent the front fender, I got a replacement off e-bay and got it resprayed in the exact colour match and did what Baza suggested and put all the bits of trim back on that I could. All in all it didn't cost that much in the end.

What about Ritchie's bike did that get much damage ?

I can't believe after riding down some very narrow lanes with loose surfaces and sheep poo, you have a bump on the first bit of proper road for 20 miles, just glad that your both ok.
