Road Toad Green Plastic Front Fender?

[viclioce]

Where can I get one? Doesn't have to be an OEM NOS. Does PRESTON PETTY or UFO make one? Paul....Buehler....Anyone??? Thanks! ; D Victor

Victor, I hate to mention another brand on this forum, but if you don't get any other answers here you might want to try a Kawasaki front fender from eBay. There are some there that are pretty reasonable. Color may be a little lighter and I am not sure about the fit.

I've looked at the Kawasaki fenders. But everything available seems to be pre-drilled for specific models. This would mean extra holes in the fender which I don't need, and if the holes are close but not right on? Well you know the answer to that. I'm hoping there's still some NOS OEM out there? Hodaka-Parts has one listed but no picture, so I emailed Dan to see if it's an after market or NOS OEM. Hopefully I will hear back today. Thanks! ; D Victor

Got a reply from Dan at Hodaka-Parts. It's a no go on the fender there.

So, does anyone know where to get a decent plastic front fender in the Road Toad green color, or at least close to it? I could consider buying the fender first and then scanning if to match for paint. ; D Victor

Well, believe it or not, I found an acceptable front fender on Amazon! And it was only $15.62 with free shipping for this KX green UFO front fender! I like the lines of it, and how can you beat the price! We are off and running now! When it gets here, I can have it scanned and compare it against the old paint as well! Here's a pic! If the color is close to the pic, it should be a good match! And it's the same front fender I put on the Wombat, same shape and design! ; D Victor

Fender is now on the frame. Bolts are a little long so I'll have to get some shorter ones. But here's a photo! Its a bit more bright green than it looked in the posted photo on Amazon tho. We will have to wait and see how it looks with the Road Toad green paint I had scanned and mixed. ; D Victor

That is how mine looks. It is almost like Hodakas are 7/8 scale motorcycles. Everything that can be bolted on from other bikes seems a tad too big. Like it is out of scale.

Probably because of the 19" front wheel. But I don't want to go bigger because Mateo is so short. ; D Victor
