Thunderbird Sport Rear Mudguard/Fender

I have recently bought a 2004 TBS with an aftermarket rear mudguard and a very small LED tail light and rear turn signals. The tail light is pretty dim, as are the turn signals. I'd like to go back stock with the rear of the bike, but pricing out the OE parts comes to about $900US. Any idea what other rear fender might work?

Watch ebay, etc. Triumphant and Sprint Man. I found a stock fender for the rear of a Thunderbird for not much $$$. The rear of the fender is slightly longer, but that appears about all. I think any of the Tbird/TBS and MAYBE the Bonnie tail lights will work. Lots of options on turn signals. I replaced the stock rear units (put them on the front instead) with small units using conventional bulbs. Work well, and just enough room for soft saddle bags. I would look at the Bonnie units for replacement signals if you must go stock.

Thanks for the information. I have seen a couple of fender on eBay, but they were grabbed before I could get them. Looking at photos, it appears the Legend rear fender might be pretty close to the TBS. I have enough friends in auto body shops that can do some modifications if needed.
