Default Rear Fender ?

Has anyone here purchased a fender of Debrix Cycles? I know Debrix purchases many of their products overseas and that's why their prices are so low. I came across one that is exactly what I need but I'm a little worried about the quality. It's very cheap compared to the ones I've looked at. Here is the link. Steel

The look I'm going for is similar to this M50 i found on ebay eBay Motors: Suzuki : Boulevard. I'm going to add led tail lights and have it stretch back a little more.

I emailed the seller about the fender and his answer was vague so I didn't even bother to ask about the pipes. The pipes could be something he saw somewhere and copied the design. But as far as I know Matt Hotch's pipes are mostly slash cuts and not straight pipes like those. I have heard of Hotch putting him name on a pipe or two but can't remember where.

Looks good. Love the look of that fender, its just not very practical for me. I sometimes ride 2up, plus the amount of S!$T that tire is gonna kick up onto your back is gonna have you thinking twice. But it does look good.....

As for the steel fender, $43 seems a little cheap to me. My $.02.

I thought of that...especially here in South Fla where we get end of the world thunderstorms. That's why I want to make it stretch back a little more.

I think thats going to end up being real short almost like a lip sticking up, it would look a lot like the bobber V-twin magazine keeps featuring, I can't find my copy, but it was featured in there 10 best inexpensive production bikes (at $20,000 for what looks like half a motorcycle)

Not to butt in, but, if he's still got the softail, then there's only about, what, 2" of travel at the rear, no? I like the look, but unless he's got bumpstops, it seems like that'd be hard on the tire when it bottoms out.....

Or am I not seeing it right?

that fender on that bike. costs 500 to 600 bucks. its custom made by highway hawk for the c50 and m50 and volusia. fender struts are already welded to the fender. all you have to do is paint and bolt on. i think the fender is actually streched when you first buy it, so you can chop it up how ever you want.

Thanks for that olli.

Seller is full of it! I emailed him and he said "custom fab on my own". Well I'm gonna take a chance and buy one of Debrix Cycles. Just received a drag bar from them and the quality is just as good as any other avaliable.

Just got a reply from Debrix. It's 14 gauge steel and their price points range so much because they buy off different manufacturers. I assume this one comes from somewhere in Asia.
