Rear section of rear fender

[heavyd]

I have read about the recall years ago for the rear fender but I expect that is long since obsolete. The rear section of my rear fender has the buckling issue described in the recall and I am wondering if anyone has ever come up with a fix. The only thing that came to mind for me would be to bend a piece of flat steel to weld to the inside of the fender, but that would mean painting the fender and if I was doing that I might as well try to buy a later fender that wasn't buckled. I have seen a few fenders come up on ebay, but like a lot of other Valkyrie parts they seem to fetch a premium price. My bike is a 97 Standard if that makes a difference.

I have a black rear fender complete off a 99 if you are interested? My 97 is not showing signs of any issues at this point. I am in no hurry to sell this so you have time to think about it.

I have never heard this. Can you post a picture please?

I am at work so I can't take a picture of my fender at the moment but it is #2 on this page.

Fender trim bolts to the brake light mounting bolt and supports the fender.  Now my hitch does the same thing since I fabbed a support underneath
