    Hi
    Anyone knows I can buy a wrapper style front fender for my Wide Glide? 
    I ride to work all weather now the engine is covered by mud. 

    The front wheel is 90mm/21". 
    There are a lot of 21" one for baggers, but their wheels are wider.

    Maybe make a nice mudflap???? and attach to existing mudguard.

    Perhaps you could get inventive and make your own custom front fender.
    Here are some pics for inspiration if you go down that road.
    Some Indian fenders look like they are made to stop mud splashing back onto the engine.


    Maybe make a mudsplitter?


    Perhaps get rid of your wheels altogether and go for claws, no need for a mudguard now.

    Or make the whole kit and kaboodle encased?.

    This front fender looks even better for mud than the Indian one
    Or go wild and invent something new.

    Convert it to a trike? and worry about mud no more.

    If it all sounds like too much effort and money, maybe the next time you anticipate there will be mud on your way to work you could wrap the front of your engine in this removable chrome stuff from the supermarket like this fella has done with his seat when he had the trotts.
    When the mud hits your engine just peel it off. Way cheaper than a pressure cleaner.

    Let us know how you go.

    BB still trying, the missus got this pic of 2 fighting overhead yesterday but it is not really up to scratch and I don't like posting bad photos.
    Will post a good one when we get it, even been thinking about updating the camera.
