33HR bicycle fenders

Anyone know if FFR still makes the bicycle fenders available that are not carbon fiber? Nothing is listed in their parts section other than the carbon fiber. Since these are going to be painted, I hate to spend the extra $$$ for carbon fiber.

I heard that they don't as the cost difference wasn't enough to justify carrying both.

I wanted to order them and was told exactly that. So I will make my own front fenders for a lot less. Ideas I have kicked around is use some reproduction rear fiberglass fenders from an old truck and alter them. Another is to just use some metal trailer fenders. Or just make a mold out of wood and lay fiberglass. Lot of examples of people making motorcycle fenders out there.
Since it will be quite a while before I even get the kit, my first step is hit a bunch of swap meets in the spring and see what pops up.

Speedway Motors and some other places sell bike fenders for hot rods that may work too.

Don't forget that Dan Ruth (Innovative Rodding) has a high quality fender set for the hot rod.

I see Fenders but not bicycle fenders, at least on their site.

Maybe I am not searching correctly but I cannot find any that could be used. Some kind of look like the right type but are too narrow.

Front fenders are not such an issue to modify from whats available, but rear fenders need to be fabricated to fit the body along with the front mounting brackets. Seems to me the original glass fenders from FFR started at around $600/set but now are double in the carbon fiber material.

If anyone is interested, I have a set of FFR front fenders and running boards for the Gen 1 '33. I used parts from another vendor, so the FFR stuff is just collecting dust in my garage. PM me if interested and we'll work something out.

Seems like lots of full fenders available but nobody has the bicycle fenders. I couldn't find any bicycle fenders on the Ruth website but I will give them a call. I wasn't going to run any fenders at all but after driving through a couple of puddles and finally getting hit in the cheek by a thrown rock I've changed my mind.

I think Dan Ruth might still be selling his versions of the bike fenders; sheet metal fronts
And glass rears. Check out innovativerodding.com
Good luck

If you can't find what you need, consider fabricating some custom bike fenders. It's not that difficult and if you can't weld, there are shops out there that can handle that for you. I couldn't find store-bought fenders when I went with skinny front runners so I cut up a Harley rear fender to make a pair.

I have the bike fenders that are carbon fiber. So with the finish of the carbon fiber bike fenders I am not painting them. They look absolutely flawless. However, you could paint them. But who paints over show quality carbon fiber LOL
