Alternative front fender?
« on: July 21, 2011, 06:20:44 AM »
My '93 Connie is naked; I haven't made up my mind whether to mount a small(er) aftermarket fairing.
I DO want to replace the front fender with something a bit more sporty. The oem fender looks waaay out of place w/o the big fairing mounted.
Any ideas what I should look for; perhaps a GPZ fender?
Thanks Guys.
Jim

You could run with no fender, just tie a rag across the fork tubes if the road is wet. We usta do that in the olden days.
