pretty extensive.

Have you thought to look around one of the scrap yards in Kingston, see if by chance they have a rear fender..........just a thought

Sweepers won't even go out for at least another 3 weeks here.

Yeah 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.

Mostly 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.

I have to ask because I have no idea about riding across borders..so..

Why didn't you just ride the bike home?

The 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.

Thanks 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.

Yes I have been shopping for fender tips, will probably go with that for this year. I was going to ask if anyone has had experience with badassglass in Iowa as that was the first solution I found .

While I haven't dealt with them personally, I know several people who have, including the guy that supplied his Drifter fenders to make the molds they use, and all have been happy with Oldies.
