Front Fender?

I noticed my damn dog chewed on my front fender when it was locked in the garage. Where can I find a replacement red one?

If the damage is only on part of it this could be an opportunity to grab a jigsaw and shorten it! While I had mine off to shorten and paint it I rode the bike without it. If you have to, ride the bike without until you can find a cheap one on ebay.

They have them new at bikebandit.com for $185.11. I would like to know if you find it cheaper anywhere else. I am looking to put a yellow one om my Thruxton. I guess in 05 they just came in silver. I would like to see a yellow thruxton with a painted front fender to match, to see what it would look like..hint if anyones got one...

Price fixing?

I just bought one from the dealer, also for $185.11. Newbonneville has them for less but you've got to sand, paint and drill your own holes.

If your keeping the stock look then i guess the choice is to buy another...but if your changing things up then like said above...shorten it up and paint it.

I sanded mine down and painted it to match my new rear fender. Im liken it

Its staying that color, Flat black. As i stated it matches my rear fender and little by little i'll be adding more black into my bike theme.

As for now i like the way it looks and pleased with the out come.
