84 gl front fender ideas
I am customizing a 1984 Gl1200i as a bobber. I have removed all plastic and swapped an 82 faux tank cover and used a 79 speedo. I am looking for ideas on what to use for a front fender. Something I can fabricate mounting brackets on is fine. Thx

Re: 84 gl front fender ideas
Similar year Magna’s, CB900’s have been used. Not sure on clearance below the fork brace. Might need to be moved up to accommodate. Advice from learning the hard way: too tight of a hug on the tire is not good. Rocks get wedged in treads and scribe fender. I had a Magna fender I put tight and at higher speeds it would vibrate just enough to start touching the tire.
What’s your carb setup? Two singles? Like it? There are purists here, but I think we all enjoy another man’s tinkering.

Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
