I need to find a nice fiberglass front fender that will fit 74H2 for a café project. Any suggestions?

not a good idea unless you keep the front guard metal bracket, it's help a lot the fork to be more rigid :mrgreen:

Maier Racing makes a great front fender. Bolted on to my H2 with minimal effort. I even have a brand new extra one if you're interested. It comes gloss black....doesn't even need paint...if blacks ok with you.

They sell it for $75 not including shipping. (Continental US) I'll sell it for $75 shipped.

Here's a pic on my H2

I like the idea of the metal bracket to help with stability. TurboChris do you think a stock style bracket will fit under the fiberglass or have you not had any issues running this fender as is? I like your bike too! I have a stock fender as well but not for trade sorry. It is for another bike.

Anyone ever use Airtech body work parts? I found them on the interweb and the quality looks ok.

I raced and have ridden for the last 19 years with just a fiberglass fender, no brace of any kind.......

cause you're slow :D seriously your point of view is interesting cause on hard braking even with the front mudguard (and the braket) the front wheel twists the fork: will try it one day ;)

I am with J.P. on this.........the front tire didn't lock and skid, but the forks definitely did!!
