i am looking for the rear fender for my ct70 that will bolt to the frame but is skinnier and maybe made out of fiberglass or what ever that is paintable, i want to paint it to match the frame.
as for the front, i am looking for the hugger type fender that will sit right directly above the tire and bolt to the lower fork tubes (conventional forks). i will be looking for this to be fiberglass so i can paint it too. takegawa, daytona, kitaco all make them but honestly, where do i go to get them? who can get them for me with out making me sore? ive been slacking on my ct build and i need to get it moving again. while im asking, i need headlight hinges to mount the headlight which i also need. id like to get a few guages for it too. like speedo and tach. i see all these parts online on uk sites but i cant see why all the companies that can get daytona, takegawa, and kitaco parts, cant get these parts too. i just want to get this style fenders on my nike, and a headlight setup, and guages too. as long as the job gets done, id even be fine with a nice set of autometer gauges, a china dax style light as long as its sealed nicely so water dosnt get in, and i can fit it to the bike with out it looking badly. so if you know of anything that can help or any parts that will/can be custom fitted easily please let me know.
thanks,
dave

Why not use an old one to make a fiberglas mold, and then just make your own? After it sets up and cures, you can cut and sand it to any shape you like, and paint it up match your CT...

that is a very good idea although i never have experimented with fiberglass, is it tough?
