Hi guys,
I bought this baby a couple years ago in Tucson. It was already ‘restored’. For me, it is and will always be a daily driver, despite its looks. This was sold to me as a ‘54 Deluxe Hornet
Well, recently I started have problems with the forks so I ‘upgraded’ to Springer forks. They are now installed.
Here is my issue:
My original front fender no longer fits with the springer forks. So, I’ve been looking for a fender that does. The only ones I’ve found (for a reasonable cost), are ‘fat’ balloon fenders with the correct double notches for the springer. They are 3” wide at the notches. But my springer fork is 2 3/4”! Can I make the fork wider?
Or am I going about this wrong and just haven’t found the right fender?
Let’s say I get the front fender to fit, now it won’t match the rear fender- so will the rear fat fender fit?
Anybody have insight to this?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
