I ordered up one of the Demon Cycle front fenders, figured I'd give it a try? I'll give everyone an update when it comes in.

Awesome! Got any scetches of how you'll cut it?

 

[straightjacket]

Probabaly do something simular to the Reaper style? May change it up a little, so as not to totally steal their design? Some of the designs on the metal front fender thread are pretty cool too!

Are you talking about the Oops Raider front fenders? Those are super cool!

It's certainly less expensive than Oops.

I was thinking this was probably the direct fender. Or is it something else, StraightJacket?

Raider fender should work. I have the Raider full reaper fender on my bike since las June. Just had to drill 2 extra holes to mount.

I've heard that the Raider fender will work but I dont see how anyone could beat $120 for a steel fender? To be honest I don't even know what Oops? is charging?

 

[dejablu110]

has anyone thought of putting 2 stock fenders together??

 

[straightjacket]

I was actually thing about that the other day, not quite sure the radius is correct, and spliceng them end to end would be proned to crack? Probabaly have to back it? If I had two fenders I could try?

 

[dejablu110]

youd have to do some cutting......i know a few that have done it with their raiders....Ill get yall a pic

This is Jazzyzgirl's raider, she does a lot of riding.

 

[straightjacket]

Nice, they did a good job, looks stock. Is it just the picture angle, or does the fender lokk a little flat, right behind the fork on the top(where it would have been spliced)?

 

[dejablu110]

Not sure.....this seemed the best angle of the fender. I'll study some of her other pics.
Here is another

So, the fender came in and is nice and thick so it can be trimmed and still remain strong. It fits the tire wraps around nice, but the fender mounts don't come down far enough to catch the second hole! Oops, guess I'll have to figure out how to make it work? It will also need spacers as it is narrower than our forks.

I was going to do this at first but when I cut one fender I realized the front fender is not the same radius all the way. It is peaked in the middle which would cause a flat spot like is seen on this Raider. They did a nice job on the Raider to minimize the flat spot.

Here are some pics of the fender sitting on the bike.
