Hey guys,
I purchased the trailer fender from Northern Tool that was brought up earlier in past posts, to make my own rear fender for my '96 bobber project. Now I am at a dilemma, I am going to cut the fender to fit only over the top of the tire. Only problem is I have absolutely no idea how to bend a piece of 1/8" steel that is 7" wide to curve over the tire. Any ideas??!

If the edges are curved,.. you can't...
The curve needs to be made beforehand...
You need the buy the correct dimension from the factory, where they use powerful presses to shape the metal...

Unless you have an English wheel & tamper, but if you had those you probably wouldn't have purchased the fender to start with

Do you mean narrowing it or just shortening it?Cut it to the length you want and run it.I think I used to use part #1263 fenders.I usually run a 150 tire,but they work with the 140 too.
This one is from Tractor supply.Put it on as is no mods.

Hey Denim
On the Tractor Supply fender are you going to run struts? Can you run shocks with that one?
thx

I'm running struts on this one.You could run shocks but you would have to make the sissybar come off of the frame.I have this one mounted right to the axle.

Actually those are just some tubing I tacked together to get a feel for the bars.
These are the ones I'm actually running.And they are from V-TWIN.Sorry
