New Fenders from Oldy's -- UPDATED 3/29
03/04/08 at 08:47:32

I just order 2 new composite fenders from Oldy's Custom Composites ( http://www.oldinc.com/oldys.htm ). I've been eyeing these for months, but just waiting for the right time (and money) to get them. Here is what I ordered:

Front (in 5" special order): http://www.oldinc.com/oldysfk.htm

Rear (7"): http://www.oldinc.com/oldyscf.htm

Cost: $168 shipped.

Yes, I'm going the "classic" look. Painting them forest green (toying with some black accent). Viv's savage gave me the idea.

Unlucky or not, I've had more positive comments on it since I painted my bike green! One guy thought it was an old triumph. So I'm probably going to still paint it green.

Oh, I adore my wife. Cheesy

Not only can she read (and speak) German, she's given me the go ahead on the project.

I already ordered the fenders (I got a pair of FLH fenders off a crash bike on ebay. They're dented and scratched, but I worked in a body shop for a while and I'm planning to paint them anyway!

I found a set of Dunlop D404s in whitewall and I found a place to order the 1" pull back bars.

My plan is to roller the bike with enamel (someone already did that here and I like the 'old school' finish.) I'm going with an Indian red with maize accents and pinstriping. I'm also going to rebadge the tank with the script Indian.

What I'm hoping to do next is get all the parts then find myself a crashed Savage. That way I can still ride, while I take my time fabricating and painting my new 'Indian'.

I'm sooooo pumped....
