Son screwed up, need help

[Raxus]

My oldest son is home for the weekend with his new bride and baby. Asked to take the TG out for a ride with his wife. I was like "sure np", he is an experienced rider and felt he could handle it. I just said make sure you watch your ass end cause of the 2 wheels....

Welp, he comes back home and tells me he hit a hitch on a truck. He and his wife are ok. Just have this little bit of damage to the right rear fender. Do the fenders on these TG's come off or am I looking at something much larger to repair?

Hopefully these pics show what I mean....

There are a couple of used fenders on e-bay last week. Take a look maybe one like yours. They come off real easy. Bolts are in the trunk and infront of the trunk.

Like the first suggestion...after taping the area with masking tape (to prevent paint splintering), carefully grind, then file, and sand a contour on the edge of the two fenders...You'll never know it.....ThumbUp

hard to tell but looks like curb rash?? check ebay they sell fenders all the time or smooth out yourself and paint.

good luck

According to him....

He clipped a trailer hitch on a pickup truck that was parked. To me..I agree it looks like hit a curb or something hard and abrasive..but I will take him at his word.

Unfortunately there are no fenders on ebay with Big Blue Pearl/Vivid Black. Don't want to go the paint route unless necessary.

Check out meredog, I believe he has Tri Glide rear fenders on his website Justin Carriage Works and I believe he's sponcer of Trike Talk.

Yikes, too bad. There's a moral to this story. Can always say "could have been worse".

1000 bucks for that fender from Harley..

 

[Raxus]

Yeah the main thing is no one is hurt. Can always fix a bike or trike in this case..

That's one reason I like the Tri Glide. The rear fenders are a bolt on! That's No big deal to fix. Just take your time.ThumbUp GOOD LUCK

[BinIdaho]

Guess your son wasn't as "experienced" as you thought....tell him to get out his checkbook and fix!!

 

[trikermutha]

Yep..Mine is the sun glo red and is more money..The back end lower trunk area is over 3000 alone..

so unless you have great insurance becarefull out there..

If your still going to let your older son drive it when he comes over for the weekend :Shrug:,
I'd just leave it like it is, at least for awhile .

It's not the "experience" as much as the look where the f*ck you are going lol
