That price is really good, but I can see why that worries you. I had some mirrors I bought for my DRZ400, that I took off when I traded it in. They would look great on my Stryker. I put the left one on, but then I went to put the right one on, and I still had the reverse thread bolt that came with them, but it hit the throttle cable housing. I am going to look into getting a spacer, but just something to look at, as the angle on the Demon Cycle mirrors looks kind of low. Please post if you get them.

I just orderd a set of mirrors,a conical filter,and a full wrap fender. Like you I'm a little concerned on quality, maybe I should have orderd one at a time? They should be here next week I'd be more than happy to let everyone know the quality when they come in.

Edit-most HD style mirrors will require an adaptor as they are standard thread, figured I'd make them unless there available?

They do offer adapters too. Although for you it might be cheaper just to make them.

Just got my parts from Demon Cycle,,, all GREAT stuff!!! Front fender is nice and thick and will be able to be trimmed and still be sturdy. Air spike is good quality also at a great price, mirrors are nice and came with the correct adaptors! I'll post pics and info on how the fender mounts up in a day or so?

So glad the fender is good quality. I had ordered mine a few days ago

Sorry for the stupid question but..... Is it possible to cut that fender with just a simple hacksaw? Or is that a bad idea?

I really need a new front fender and that looks like the best option right now.

I'm sure it would be possible, but I also think it would be a bad idea... I think it would be hard to get it cut the way you want. Especially when you need both sides to be the same.

Not a stupid question, but you would be stupid to do it using a hack saw. I take it that you can't afford a new front fender, but don't like the llok of the one you have now. So flip it and see if you like the look any better. Yes the lip will be on top, but it will be longer near the bottom.

You need a saw,or grinder that can cut it as close to the shape you want. Then you need to be able to sand or grind to the exact shape. Remember to mark it with a very fine line, big lines make big mistakes. Mount first and make sure its straight,then measure from fixed points that are even side to side. if going to a point make sure its centered on the tire. A dremel would work in a pinch with lots of bits, diegrinder with cutoff wheel probably the best as you can make a tight turn with it. Then a stone or flapper to finish.

That's what I did - cut the duck tail off (with a dremel and metal cutting wheels, then sanded it out, repainted) and mounted it backwards. I love the way it looks

Issue is my fender is dented so yes I need a new one. Cost not so much an issue, more so that I want something unique. Playing around the idea of a Punisher Skull Fender.
