    Bad assss!!! Any thoughts about a translucent silver finish? Something that would look silver reflective in the light but could be lit from underneath at night?

    Thanks for the pics thrstrmech! I think i may try for the blue front fender to match the rest of the bike. Ive been waiting for someone to remake these plastics.

    Those cherry fenders are extremely rare. I think there were 25 made as an experiment.

    I've seen one and that's what I was told when asking about them.

    It's a great idea but, only on a show bike...
    I had a hero blue translucent front fender that a buddy sold me that he found in a pile of parts that he bought when they closed down the factory. I ran it for two days and realized why they just sold the bikes with black front fenders...
    All of the dirt/water would spray on the inside and it looked like a doo-doo skid in the middle of the fender.
    I ended up selling it to another friend and about a month later when I seen it it had spiderwebs and one of the mounting holes cracked.

    Wonder if they could look at a CR windscreen and come up with something. Was there any ever made by Buell?
