Front Fender Options CB550...
« on: March 14, 2016, 05:22:58 AM »
I'm doing a custom build rather than a restore. The stock original fender is in really good shape and I'd rather make it available for a restore and not chopping it.

I've seen a few more modern and shorter fender on a few builds.

Which fenders from what models/years should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance,
Kenzo

thats why i built mine the way i did. the chrome was too nice to chop up, but what i did was buy another stock CB fender, then section the front and rear ends, reweld the tips back on so that you can keep the factory rolled edge all around.
more time consuming, but its an OE look for a bobbed fender. most other fenders you can find do not have the rolled OE lip.

I've been thinking about selling my stock fender, it's a prime candidate for a chop (I've already chopped it a bit!). If you want it shoot me a PM.

It's a little motor and likes having the tits revved off it.

Something about it says "Suzuki" to me but that's just a wild guess.

Fiberglass aftermarket fender, attaches with hose clamps. I have one on my old drag bike. Maybe fibermold? They're no longer in business but used ones are around or a new company.
