Awhile back one of the members mentioned having some aftermarket aluminum fenders produced. If they were available I'd sure be interested.

Rod,    Normally, each year,  I buy quite a few sets (10-20) from Europe for myself and others.  I have not ordered any yet due to the decreased value of the US dollar.  I try to keep the price down and the way the exchange rate is now, I can't afford to do that so I am holding off due to $$$$.  If we could find someone here in the US that could produce the same quality product for as reasonable a price I would go that direction but as of now, I'am still looking:(  Normal price from Europe was, a set of fenders both front and rear, for almost the same price of one fender available here in the US.

Kip,
  Please let me know if and when you feel you may be ordering fenders again.
Thanks.....as always,

I'm hot for at least one pair too, Kip.  If you don't come through, I'll be forced to try to make them up myself, from scratch
(a daunting & doubtful prospect).  Please keep us posted.  TED

Kip, how much greater quanity would be needed to get a price break that would make it a better value ?

Rod,   A 10 set minimum order was the price break, I had no problem with that as the price was very reasonable and I could move the excess fenders I didn't need.  I am not going to give up,  I would like to, at least get a large order for resale at Mid Ohio next year. We'll see how the dollar goes!

Kip, I may be interested in a set depending on the price. They look better on a trials bike than plastic.
