I replaced mine back in January. The mount for the tail light broke through the fender and the tail light and turn directionals ended up in the rear wheel at 70 mph. Everything was damaged beyond repair. Keep an eye on eBay, as they come up for sale on occasion there.

I have a spare stocker but I got the impression he is wanting an "aftermarket" type.  Bruce, if you need a stock fender send me a PM.

I have a good stock fender and rear light/turn set.  This is my tinker toy to keep me occupied during rehab from a major accident. So I have decided to mod it. I like steve's bike but am not going for the "cafe" look.
