Newbie Intro:Maryland/Virginia
« on: March 20, 2007, 12:58:31 PM »

Hello all,

Just picked up a 05 FLHTSE2 in Candy 2 tone candy Cherry.  Not perfect but not bad either.  I do need a new front fender and want to stay with the factory paint scheme.   Not sure if I got a good deal or not,  paid 18K for it and it has 1,800 miles.   Like I said, needs a front fender had a few scratches that I've already dressed and it came out great.   Bone stock and looking to do a free flowing exhaust and tuner to fatten up the mixture a bit and keep Mr. Heat to a minimum.  Any suggestions or comments would be very welcome about what worked for you,  not looking to turn this thing into a hot rod,  just looking to make it a little more user friendly.

I live in Maryland but work in Virginia,  I bounce back and forth from both,  have houses in each.    Been into bikes for a long time and have been bikeless for the last 6 years,  thought it was time to do it again.

If anyone knows where I can find a new or nice front fender in the 2 tone Candy Cherry paint combo, please let me know. 

Thanks and look forward meeting and corresponding with folks with a like interest.

I'd send some pics but they all look the same,  except mine has a boo-boo on the front fender!

zrwhat,
Welcome to the site glad to have you join us. :2vrolijk_21: You should be able to get a fender from the MoCo already painted. Several members here have had good luck w/local painters matching paint also, but this would require buying a fender and having it painted so it might be close in price just to get it pre-painted from factory. Good luck.

I've got a line on the PPG paint codes from Harley,  I'm pretty handy with a spray gun and have the equipment to do it , just figured its easier, quicker, cleaner buying one already done,  not a really good pin striper,  would have to have it striped before I did a final cleared on it,  or I just may give it a shot, all I can do is booger it up and if I lock the second and third stage with clear,  its just a matter of starting over with the pin striping,  wipe it off and start over.   BIG Bucks for a factory fender already done unless its only laying around collecting dust at a dealership somewhere.

If anybody knows of one,  sure would help....
