Cafe fender
« on: June 13, 2012, 09:26:48 PM »
Anyone know where I could get a front fender that would fit a 750 without too much modification?  I looked on dime city and it didn't specify what model it would fit.

A front fender that looks like what? You can just get a 750 fender and modify it to be whatever.

Something shorter and lighter like an abs plastic.  I really don't want to chop apart an original.

Carpy had a FRP on on his site. I bought one, very light, very strong for the weight. Expect to finish the paint prep though. Doesnt show up ready for paint.

The 81 super sports had a cool little wing on their abs front fenders that is cafe like.  And it is a DOHC so chopping is not an issue.   ;D

There are lots of scraped up and dented ones on Feebay, I'm sure you could find one that will work.
