Anyone running a non-Triumph front fender? (Ed I know you are!!) Looking to see what other options there are. I seem to remember something from another bike working at one point, but can't remember. Thanks!!

I roll no front fender right now. I was thinking of modding an old (60's, 70's) chrome Bonneville or Honda fender to fit. If I find one and do I'll e-mail you pics

There are a TON of old honda fenders on ebay right now. I was lookin last night. Just go into motorcycle accessories and search for "honda front fender". I thought about getting one too, not sure how a chrome fender would look on the bike tho.

My bro has an old honda that he chopped and I put his old fender on top of my tire. I thought it looked really cool. I would have used his but its all bent up and pitted. Are the ones on Ebay old school or newer? I'll have to check that out.

Both. Lots to choose from. Hard to see how much they cover the tire from the pics, but you might be able to tell.

I have a 50s triumph front fender with a rib down the center I was thinking about making fit my SM. Big fat cruiser style I can't remember what model it was for anymore.

That's cool. I know a lot of guys who want a more full fendered look. I'm looking for a slimmer, sportier look, like those old chrome ones, but black. Black and silver would be even er.

I'm working on getting some new pics of the bike. I'll post as soon as I have them. The fender is now solid silver to match the silver on the tank. I also painted the rear fender silver so the bike looks really different.

I don't know what shipping would be but if I get a black America fender or get the red one I have painted I'll have a black SM front fender.

I just polished up a chrome fender from a 79 or 80 Suzuki GS.
Mounting holes are close, but hopefully it is my weekend project.
I'll post pics if I get too it.

It was cheaper than the SM one... and at the price I won't mind drilling holes in it...... or my dad drilling it.
Ain't dad's for helping their daughters with things like this...?
