Thanks in advance

The Voyagers have a chrome bracket that will fit the fender on the back side of your Vaquero. I was given one and I mounted it by drilling 2 holes.

You could put a small piece of rubber in between the chrome piece and the fender to act like a mud flap.

The bracket will not make contact with the spoiler with the forks collapsed, I made sure before I ran it.

I have heavy duty leather mud flaps front and rear on my voyager and love them. Got them from Iron Bags. They are hand made and top quality from a couple in Wisconsin. Also have matching ones on my cargo trailer.

Anyone know the brand or vendor for this fender trim? I have been looking but not having any luck.
Thanks

Ponitail, I found the site you are referring to


http://www.ironbags.com/other_products.phtml



Looks like some nice gear there. Could you tell me which size you got for your front fender please? I'm not sure which one to get since the front fender on the Vulcans is quite big and imagine the larger rear one may fit the front on our bikes better.


Thanks for the help

I switched my Vaquero front fender out for a Klockwerks hugger style steel fender.
