well im working on my 250 bobber and ive toyed around with cutting down the rear fender and liked the way it looked up it wasnt really suited for newyork weather and well ive toyed around with the idea of a trailer fender but i was hoping to find some thing a little rounder that hugs closer to the tire like the blue collar bobbers set up but i dont like the idea of a fiberglass fender but thats just me im just curious what other options are out there or if any one had any ideas

Are there any motorcycle salvage yards near you? Measure your bike and look for something in the yard that could be modified to fit.

that will come in handy i will need to look into that most of my shopping has been online and i prefer to use some thought instead of just bolting things together if i ever get the chance to go shopping i should be able to come up with some thing

Haven't seen the Blue Collar rear fenders, but it sure would seem like they'd be using a common stock or aftermarket fender. If you knew which one they were using, it might be available in steel somewhere's as well...........

Edit: Just looked at the Blue Collar kit and would put $$$ on that it's probably a common front fender being used as a rear fender, just don't know from which make/model........

It's a custom fiberglass fender they came up with just for the rebel bobber kit.

I found a used ABS sporster rear fender that I cut down and cut out a chain slot. I think it worked pretty good and used it until I found the FLH fender that I have on now. You're only really limited to your imagination amd abilities.

well if i had the tools and the time ability wouldnt be a problem but im stuck with mostly hand tools and a few powertools no real body or sheet metal tools so to much metal working isnt going to work but if i ever get the barn clean out enough to move my bike ill get some pics up sooner or later but with out the time its a little hard to hunt for options

ABS cuts easily with a sabre saw or even a coping saw. Making struts from mild steel is easy with a hacksaw and a drill.
