Chrome Fender Tip Fit

[Dmnordin]

Does anyone know what chrome (plastic/ABS?) fender tips would fit my '83 Venture front fender? What more current bike model fender would be comparable in size, curvature, etc.? I need to cover up some paint damage near the tip from a recent paint exchange with a girl's car (I wished she would have looked, & I was more careful that time).

 

Thanks,

Doug

How much does it need to cover? You could just use some of the chrome edging: http://www.jcwhitney.com/universal-chrome-edge-and-trim-molding/p2024253.jcwx?TID=8014524FT2&zmam=15972153&zmas=18&zmac=129&zmap=32975G

The problem goes back an inch or two. I do have some side molding - I'll have to check it out. It might do the job. It's just that the cast tips tend to start out at $50, and most of them are over $100, and that's way too much for my budget.

Any chrome MKII fender tip and medalion will work. They show up on Ebay occasionally.

Thats exactly what I used to cover a scratch on the fender on my 85. Just got some good glue and stuck it on.

SkyDoc had an '87 Yamaha VR tip I bought.

I bought one like that on Ebay a couple of years ago. I'm cheap so it was probably inexpensive.

 

Stuck it on with an inch or two of particularly tenacious double sided tape I scrounged up from the graphics dept at work.

 

Hope this helps.
