AUSSIE_FLSTFSE · « **on:** September 12, 2009, 05:02:48 AM »

Recently I found a supplier that supplies replica rear fenders that have no holes for tail light or license plate so I bought one as I have been looking for the clean smooth look. The package turned up yesterday & it looks good. I just need to clean it up a bit, polish it then take it down for chroming. It should look great. I will post pics when its all done.

Cheers

HA! Aussie OCD, do I smell a reality show? How many seasons do you think Aussie could keep it going?

It only a sickness if you are receiving treatment!

Wishbone:

Looks awesome! I'm curious as to how you managed to match the CVO paint scheme and metal grind??

WISHBONE · « **Reply #9 on:** September 15, 2009, 05:00:29 PM »

I bought a new primed fender from Harley and then I put the light in an shipped it to a company in Wisconsin for the paint and it turned out perfect. Total with everything was about $1600 those lights are about $400 with the mounting bracket but worth it.....I kept the old fender just in case I ever wanted to put it back original.

Even though I do like yours I am still going for a smoother look. No fender mounted licence plate or tail light!

Like This! (still needs a bit more sanding & polishing)

AUSSIE_FLSTFSE · « **Reply #11 on:** October 11, 2009, 05:18:51 AM »

I have been a little busy lately & had no time to work on my fender. But today I managed to trial fit it & I am very happy with it. I just need to mount the turn signals then remove it again & take it down to the chrome shop. I hope to get this done in the next week or two.

Cheers
Aussie

Have you got it done yet Aussie? You are killing me here.....

AUSSIE_FLSTFSE · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:16:29 AM »

It wont be too long now! The fender is down at the shop getting plated now so I should have it back in a couple of days.

Cheers

I suppose your fuel tank will be next to get chromed...

Peddler

AUSSIE_FLSTFSE · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2009, 03:26:02 PM »

I have thought about it! but the decals would be a problem as they work best under a couple of coats of clear lacquer.

Cheers

I was thinking the same thing and wondering how fantastic it would look when Aussie goes all the way and chromes the tank!

You can never have too much chrome!

Sure looks good.

JimF · « **Reply #44 on:** January 28, 2010, 03:38:19 PM »

Wishbone, Could you post the company in Wisconsin that you sent to for paint. I would also like to replace the stock fender, and will need someone to do the paint to match the 06. Thanks

Both bikes are awesome, love the short fender with paint, but got to say the chrome is too cool.
