How to widen wings yourself?
Has anyone done this themselves or have they bought them already widened?
I have an idea or two which involves cutting up my originals and then widening them to create a mould. Desperate step I know but availability of what I want are a real problem for a reasonable cost. I don't want to pay a guy who bought them from another guy, who bought them from the guy who made them!!! It's just sending the costs out of control for me. Any ideas at all? thanks |

wing-widening
Very ,very few people go to the extent of doing it themselves. Unless your extremely talented I would highly reccommend buying a set of wider fenders. They are not that expensive. the amount of labor involed in a DIY mould and them laying the glass for just one fender, no way not worth the time especially not worth the $$$$.If you want the coolest GL fenders around buy a set of Kafer cup fenders from hoffman speedster or someone else. Good luck with your machine.

Hey, think its possible to take a second set of metal fenders and make another set wider but cuting off the mount flange then adding the inner material to the fender?
Would be a lot of welding.... might not be worth my time as i have to get new fenders anyways.

Their is a way to pound out your current fenders to make them wider. This is by far the cheapest option and its probably alot wasier than making a set out of fibreglass.
