- April 03, 2014, 09:28:34 AMYeah that's not just a problem for you guys. Where I live: something like 4,000+ tons of sand, whopping 6 street sweepers. So far the rainstorms have done a better job cleaning the roads than the sweepers.

- April 03, 2014, 08:13:43 AMMostly I did not ride home because the temperature ranged between -3 and -12 over the route of the ride, also the alternating snow and rain. Biggest problem in the northern US and Canada at this time of year is that even if you get a day where it is warm enough to ride the roads are still covered with lots of sand and salt left over from ice melting operations, making them very treacherous, especially corners and intersections.

Why didn't you just ride the bike home?

- April 02, 2014, 17:44:22 PMThe Zambinis are much nicer than the one I found at JP Cycle. More expensive, but lots nicer. I checked at lunch and the one I found fits the front, I wasn't able to find one that fits the rear. Tried several, but nothing was close. I'm not at my bike now, but it seems to me that the rear fender is around 9" wide at the back. I could be remembering it wrong, though.
I've not seen the zambinis up close, but they really look high quality on their website.

- April 02, 2014, 10:54:30 AMThanks to everyone for the suggestions. Those Zambini ones will be exacty what I want, I found some on eBay and the guy wanted $260. So glad you pointed me to the site, way cheaper. Does anyone happen to know the width of the fenders? Mine is not here to measure. Alsp would love to see the pics Larry. I found one other set I would like to try but not sure on the fit.

I was going to ask if anyone has had experience with badassglass in Iowa as that was the first solution I found .

- April 01, 2014, 19:56:14 PMI re-read your post again tonight. Man, that was a rough way to go. I had a pretty rough time when I got my bike- snow, rain, steep driveway, low overhead door, etc - Or SO I THOUGHT- it was like a walk in the park compared to your trip..... But you still got a REALLY COOL BIKE!! 
I shopped for fender tips, somewhat extensively - had a hard time finding them. I got mine from JP cycles. I think I tried 4 different models, and if I remember, I ended up with one that I thought would fit (not mounted on yet). If I can get to it, I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow.
