Smaller Front Fender

[bikebone]

I'm looking for a smaller front fender for my '83 1100, anybody have any suggestions? Air Tech offers a couple of solutions, but I was wondering if there wasn't something off of another bike that would work. Don't ask me why, but there is something I like about mixing parts to make a neat looking bike. A fender off of a Harley Super Glide might work; anyone tried that?

I have one from a 78 wing to put on my 80.

Yeah I know what you mean, mixing parts can look really good.
Lotsa choices out there making it hard to decide.

I have a fender off of a GL1000 that makes it look a lot different. The problem I am having right now is that the Shinko 712 I have on the front rubs at high speeds. I went back to the stock fender and had the same problem but never knew it. When the metal fender was on I could smell the rubber rubbing but with the plastic fender on, it just melted a hole in the rear of the fender, so I had to cut it down a little. I am thinking of trimming the front of the fender also so the stock fender doesn't look so dang BIG.

I have a smaller fender from a 1200 on my 1100, and it looks good.

Got a picture of this 1200 fender? I'd love to see it.

At work now, will post one tonight.

A little late but I'm finally asking. Smaller in what way? Shorter? Narrower? Both?

 

[bikebone]

I'm building a cafe bike, so way smaller in both width and length than the stock 1100 fender.

 

[Omega Man]

Pardon me for not getting that photo posted. It's only two or
three inches shorter in the rear of the fender when compared to an 1100 fender, It's also the same width.

80's virago have short fenders that might be used but a mount will need made to fit.

I just bought a fender from DRAG, I'll have to drill it to fit the Honda fork. It fits a Sportster and is drilled for a Harley fork, then paint it. It's a raw fender. Cost $49.95 usd.

 

[bikebone]

Thanks!!!
I'll check it out.
