Tbird fender fix....you listening Dave?

[dazco]

I know Dave like I finds the rear fender a bit odd. Don't like that straight edge. So i rounded it in photoshop and wham....10 times better ! i actually like it like this and will probably cut mine like that eventually unless i get used to it as is. Oh, and no, they don't come in red. I just did that for Dave to match his speedy. :ya2:

h: :y114: What are you trying to break my bank balance by making me see this just the way I would want it :y114: Amazing how just that small modification to the fender make all the difference

 

[dazco]

i know, isn't it? I just don't know what i could do about the raw edge unless maybe they have touchup paint and you could put a even bead on the edge just barely contacting the paint to seal it. What kills me is i would be willing to bet almost every person who saw both wpuld much prefer it curved, yet this genius designer they hired did it straight. I don't get that ! Someone should buy the fenders from triumph, cut them, and re-paint then with the factory colors. I'd buy one at nearly any cost barring ridiculous. I would also think about finding a better way to locate the licence and asignals. Even if i could just raise them a little.

 

[DaveM]

I am sure if you gave the fender to a good painter they would be able to trim it off so it looks like it was made like that

 

[dazco]

Thats a good idea. I can go to one first and show him what i want to do and see if he can do that.

Looks good in Red!! :ya2: :y115:

 

[DaveM]

Yeah I would do that and if he can do it maybe you don't need to fork out for a second one unless you want to change back again

I dislike the shape of the tail-pipes. :blush:

 

[dazco]

I like them, tho i DON'T like the stock ones. The look too long to be upswept. Mind y6ou, they don't really bother me a lot but i much prefer the shorties on this one. I suppose i might like straight cut tho, but i'd have to see it. My fav are the cone shaped dunstall type with the little "gattling gun" tubes on them.
