I was "STOPPED" at a traffic light this morning and a fella in a pickup in front of me decided to backup???, running his bumper up over my front tire. I ride my FJR 99% of the time, took the LT this morning with 40 degree temps, but wasn't quick enough on the LT horn. It took a couple of bystanders to lift the truck off the front tire, but at least it didn't get to the fairing. I know this is minor, but I called the cops, he admitted to it and he has insurance.

Any ideas besides BMW, Beemerboneyards,................ for a fender?

The bike is mystic red, but really faded from the FL. sun, so this might call for a total repaint.

Realoem.com shows the new fender is not available anymore, so I purchased a blue front-front fender off ebay for $12 plus shipping. May keep looking for mystic red, but at least I have a good one.

You may want to check with fd flying duck he has lots of k bike parts.
Don't know if he has a red one,good to get to know him and what parts he has. May need other stuff some day.
Even the led lites for the guages help lower the current draw on your battery.
Give him a msg.see what he has. Keith

The new pr2 tire looks good, drives fine, and the spinning runout is good.
