 I picked up a  rear  fender extention with the side filler panels   from a  FHLX  . I want to fill the antenna holes ,and smooth over. I have experience  with  epoxy , fiberglass , and of course bondo .I`m not sure of the properties of this plastic and not sure what products to use ......any thought or suggestions ??.................bladerunner

Do you know who made it. If it's the Ness one it is fiberglass.

 It`s the actual HD  product, I think It`s some kind of  "plastic  "...bladerunner

this is the 3m product that I use to repair that type of plastic

5885 Automixâ,,¢ EZ Sand Rigid Parts Repair Item No. 60-9800-3084-9

if you put a piece of masking tape over the hole on the good side you fill from the back, then use body filler on the front to do a final fill for appearance.

I have filled several of the panels that way with great results

 Thanks , seattle.. that`s what I was look`n for..probably cost more for shipping than for the material ..I`m back here in PA....bladerunner

the proper material is kinda spendy, and the automix gun is needed to mix the stuff, I have the gun and a supply of repair material here.

that part is light, should be cheap to send...offer still stands   like to take care of the HTT crew

i backed into another bike and bent my rear fender on my 03 fatboy... can i cut the fender without chipping the paint?  thinking bout just cutting the bent part off bottom of fender and calling it good. anyone with any experience doing anything like this?

tape it up real good with 2" masking tape, draw your new line and cut with a new fine tooth blade in your saw, take some touch up paint to the new bare edge after filing it smooth and you should be good to go
