Rear Fender

is this a stock or custom rear fender www.bikepics.com/yamaha/maxim650/80/pics.asp the red bike with raised Handle bars

 

It's a custom fender.

 

I like it alot!!
I did pretty much tha same mods to mine. I've always likes bobtail fenders, so I put one on from a Harley (fits like a glove) I mounted bars from a Goldwing on 4" risers, so my arms are straight out and alot more comfortable then leaning forward and having all that weight on my wrists.
With forward controls now, it's a cruiser and much better bike to ride on the long haul.

 

Hey PainterD:

an more details on those mods? those are the same I want to do once I get this pig running.

I love the bobtail fender (which harley one did you get, what bike you got?? I got a 82 xj750 seca), I already got forward controls bookmarked on ebay for when i get her runnng.. Also very interested in your handle bars - any pics??

 

Jgb1503,
I'll try to get some photos of my '82 Seca that I turned into a bobber posted soon.
The Harley fender I used is 7-1/4" wide and fits between the frame rails like it was made for the bike. I don't have any idea what model it came from but I got it off Ebay and just asked the seller for the width before I got it, so I knew it would fit. I mounted it with 1/4" bolts thru the frame rails from the sides and an L-shaped bracket under the seat mounted to the cross member behind the air filter. It's good and solid.
The handle bars I got from a Goldwing are actually the same dimensions as mini-apes. They have an 8" rise (I wanted 12" rise) so I made a pair of 4" risers to make them the correct height I needed.
After much experimenting with postioning everything just where I wanted it, my seating position is just right. After putting in a 400 mile ride, I found it to be a 100% improvement over the stock riding position and it looks a hell of alot better than the old ug-a-ly Seca it once was.
I'll try to take some photos of it today and get them posted for ya later. >PD<

 

I pulled a fender like that off my XJ when I first bought it. Check my gallery. If you want it (includes brake light and signal lights) let me know and we can work out a deal.

 

Gitbox.
That does look similar to mine, however, mines doesn't have the lines on the sides. It's just smooth all the way around.
It looks like someone is going to get a deal!!

 

Here's what mine looks like now. It started out as a bobber, then I added the windshield, saddlebags and a little luggage rack that fit on the bobtail fender to carry my lunch box to work. It's built for the long haul now!

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "bobber"?

 

a bike with bits chopped off it.

 

nice work,d. wiz.

 

I wish I new u had that 4 sale sooner. I just paid $166 bux 4 my bobtail fender n kit. I got mine from a 94-03 sportster

 

If u still have that fender I might be interested in it, PM me if u do.
Thanks, Sam

 

i suppose that rear fender is already sold? i've been looking around for one like that to throw on my bike

 

i was going to got the fatbob route but seen PainterD's trailer fender and loved it went that route instead 15.00 for the fender 15.00 in lights 15.00 in trailer harness now i have two lights in the rear one on each side they run tail,brake and turn signals looks clean and simple
