Simplex Fenders

[Ricks]

I have done a lot of reading on that site.  Building a short, chopper style fender is a piece of cake;  building a long, wrap around fender is a different story.

From what you said before , it just takes a bit more muscle and stamina . It'd be nice if they made a pill for that . One  that would last up to 4 hours .

How's the fender manufacturing process goin Rick? As soon as you get it mastered, you can start on mine. Both of mine have been bobbed. I still have the section you gave me for the rear, but I think 2 new fenders would work better. lol

Very slow James.  I have been working 6 days a week for the past year, and it doesn't leave a lot of time to play.  Unfortunately, it is not getting any better, as people are retiring faster than we can make new controllers.  It takes a newbie  3-4 years before he/she can work on his/her own. On the bright side, I am eligible to retire, but I would like to work 5 more years so my wife and I can retire together and move to a warmer climate.

Another 100 yards it would have been in the drink!

Well I guess somebody didn't put the snow chains on before they took off.

Rick,
 How is the fender manufacturing going, are they still working you to much to make progress?
I met a guy in Florida that has a 1941 and needs a rear fender with a right side cutout as his original was bobbed by a PO.
I told him I would check around so if this is something you could produce or if anyone knows of one anywhere that could be had it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I do have one that has the left side cut out. Beautiful shape. I guess I would sell it. I intended to use a bobber fender on mine. What do you think it's worth.??

Haven't done much lately with the fenders.  I did make a couple of patch pieces, about 24" long so Reese could repair 2 of his fenders.  I am still working 6 days a week, so not a lot of time to play with the bike stuff. 

I don't think Wayne has much in the way of original fenders either.  I know he bought molds from Glenn to have fiberglass fenders made.  This might be a viable option.

I get to work a lot too so I understand.
I'll check with Wayne and see if he has something.
Thanks Rick.

I have an English wheel. I have also been to Grizzly in Pennsylvania many times and looked at that one. Imho, that one is too small to do much work with. 

Gary, come to the VMBC meet in Portland, Indiana in July and come meet a bunch of the guys on here.  I will also bring one of my fenders, just to show it can be done by a rank amateur!  Lol
