I have been trying to decide what the next step I want to take on my bike over the last couple of months and I have decided I want to do body work and paint. I would really like to get some kind of front fender that wraps around the front tire, further down the back at least. The ones I am finding only go up to a 19" wheel. I need one for a 21". I definatly want it to be steel also. Also I cant decide if one of these types of fenders will still look good with the stock rear. I absolutly do not want to change it. Do you think it would look good? Something else I want to do while I am at it is put a flush mount pop-up gas cap on it. I haven't really seen this yet on a warrior. Is there a reason nobody has it done? I sent a pm the washingtonwarrior about doing one of his true fire paint jobs because I think he does an unbelievable job. I figured I could have someone local do all of the prep work and then ship them to him for paint if he is interested in doing it. Here is a side pic of my warrior. Give me your opinions please. I am really torn over what to do. Thanks alot.

Who's the dead guy in front of your bike?

You are right on to contact washingtonwarrior.

The fender looks good in the pic but I have never been a fan of the tall skinny tire up front. Is the tall tire just a looks thing or is there a performance reason?

You need a little more bling!

Haha. You gotta a nice look going on there. I like the fender as is, but it is up to you.

Nice bike. Those raked trees look good.

I think the hugger style long front fender would really give the front end of the warrior a bit more completion. That, and a headlight visor (that isn't cheap looking...)


If you have to, find a local sheet metal shop and ask them to make you one to your specs, then have it prepped and painted.

That is an awesome looking bike! I wish my Warrior was that nice.



I would change very, very little about that machine. I am actually not a fan of chrome, so would not add any more "bling". In fact, I would get rid of the some of the chrome and go for a little darker look (the chrome fender stays and side may be too much for me (for me). The rake looks terrific. The front wheel/tire looks great. I would not lower it -- it's a performance machine.



I agree with Justice that a headlight visor is one of the next things I would look into. Keep the stock headlight (don't go for one of the little ones), but find the best-looking visor you can for it.



Do you have no mirrors at all? Can you ride without them? I love the look of the clean bars when you take the mirrors off, but I really need them there for my safety. I've been considering some quality bar-end mirrors myself, but haven't spent the money.

When I first got finished I rode without the mirrors for awhile. It is completely illegal but between no baffles, no front running lights, and a verticle mount license plate(not in pic) I figured whats one more infraction. It drove me crazy after a week though so I put them back on.





What kind of headlight visor are ya'll talking about? Could you give me an example of a really good looking one.


The main thing with my front fender is I had to raise it a couple of inches when I went larger. I couldn't figure out how to do it stylishly so me and my dad just made some brackets. I think if I came up with something else I would like it better.

 

[baclay9]

The 21" wheel was just because I liked the way it looks. It isn't skinny though. It isjust aswide as the stock one.

Not that hard to find. This one is from West Coast Choppers, made for a 19". They have fenders for 21" as well.

I've seen a few out there -- none made specifically for the Warrior as far as I know. Here is a recent thread with pics and discussion related to headlight visor...

Low and Mean will come up with a new front fender in January.
