These Brit-Style aluminum ribbed Chopper Fenders look extremely good on a custom, either a Harley, Triumph, BSA, Honda, Yamaha etc. What about sturdiness to avoid cracking with vibrations? Most steel fenders are .035″ thick, most aluminum are .060″ and these aluminum ones are .090″ are less than half the weight of comparable steel fenders (meaning 2 to 3 pounds less.) They come from a small company in Greenfield (Milwaukee), Wis called 7 Metal West and its owner got the killer idea to sell them in many sizes including the ones fitting properly around most vintage tires (give your exact measurements) and in finishes from natural, brushed, brass and copper. I must mention that these fenders, due to the many ways that they can be mounted, can’t be warranted for passenger use. Call Dan on my behalf at 414.477.0380 after visiting 7 Metal West
