What kind of custom rear fenders people have used?
Is there any "plug-in" versions for Valk, or even with small mods (or how big mods have to do)?
Thanks...

Anything that anyone has used is usually just a custom job. I will be doing the same thing this year. Just a matter of saving up enough cash.

I have not seen any easy to do rear fender mods and I wanted a custom one that looked like HONDA OEM so this is what I did. I invested $1,000 labor, fabrication, and paint...plus a donor stock Valk rear fender and a stock donor VTX rear fender they cost me used $250 each, total cost about $1,500. http://vrcc.photostash.com/vrcc_25850/MVC-026F.JPG

A little off base but would any of you have the measurement between the rear fender(supports)? I need to bend mine up & out after crashing and flipping over but have not been able to find the inside spects. Im going to try and cut down whats left of my rear fenders into a kinda bobber/sport bike look with LEDs mounted else where on the back.

The question is not what you look at...but what you see...

May I resurrect this question after about a decade? Does anyone have new information on custom rear fenders? I want a hugger style rear fender that hugs and follows the tire through its suspension travel (fairly closely).

Thanks Savage - nice looking fenders. I thumbed through the catalog but I am looking for a fender that fits close to the tire and tracks with it, at a fixed distance from the tire. I think this is often referred to as "bobber style". I didn't see that option in the catalog.

You’ll need to have that fabricated.
