Anyone have a bad, rusted, smashed, bent rear metal Z1/KZ fender?
I need to have 2 pieces, both sides to cut up to ad to another fender.
This is a section I am looking for. I want to ad to this other one to make the lines flow up as one extended fender.
Or something like that. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Maybe if someone has a fender to cut up? It would make easier and cheaper to ship.
Here is a makeshift picture with the box outline.
Just checking?
Thanks.

Have you considered just moving the fender straight back?  This is what my dad did with his Z1 drag bike.  It not super noticeable if you aren't familiar with the stock location of the tail light.

I don't have a great picture, but here is a low res one.

Hi Jim, Thanks. Yes this one was already cut and hammered on, moved back a little. Like this other, I took 2 and made into 1. still needs a finishing coat of mud on it.
I have a nice fender for painting. But don't want to cut it up, as it is in perfect shape except for the chrome.
Talk about old, like me. This poor thing has been sitting for 20 years. I built that swing arm and raked that frame in 1999. I know for sure! As I painted it in Nov. 1999 before my 1st lumbar fusion in Jan. 2000.
Jim, when do you want to sell me that classic PUPPET swingarm?? And is that the Lester Pup did the double weld to? Love that vintage Lectron decal!
I have a stock swing arm and a stock 2.15" Lester. Any thoughts? Just sayin'
