Reply #1 - 12/09/05 at 12:25:40 i don't believe there are any "bolt on" fender replacements. there are many options available if you want to make it a solo machine. boat trailer fenders, i used a chrome half fender off an old suzuki for mine. here's a look at thumper and lucky.

Reply #2 - 12/09/05 at 13:25:03 Yeah, I've got a rear half fender from a '79 Honda CM400. It looks great mocked up, but I have no idea how I'm going to mount it.

I have never been happy with the look of the Savage's front fender ... never liked the way the sides of the fender wrapped over the sides of the front tire ... a sleeker, smaller fender covering just the top of the tire would look way better ...

I agree with Torque. I like the idea of a rear fender that is really low on the rear wheel..

or this

I personally don't like the big dress fenders. I really like the custom fenders that come with the Savage. But the fenders that take the cake................
Look no further than Sluggo's bike. darn Sluggo!!!! I could sit and look at your bike all day.
I've been toying with the idea of buying a savage fender off ebay or something, trim it down just enough so the tail light touches a solo seat (no passenger). Mount it using the same bolts. That way it should just be a fairly quick change back to a two-up seat if I want to take my girl for a tour. The lights stay on the fender and the wires will be quick connects.
