You and me both brother.  Too bad they break so easy and cost way too much to replace new.  Right now I have a piece of aluminum bent, hammered, and painted to match.  Its only moderately ugly.

Apparently that piece is the victim of many ghetto fenderectomies.  What is wrong with people that they chop up a perfectly good bike?

Why don't you go digging through that 30 gallon trashcan you have in your garage?  I think  I saw like 6 in there didn't I?

$45 actually, plus shipping.  $53 to my door? I'd rather make one.  And yes, I am that cheap.

EDIT: Bikebandit has it for 45, Ronayers for 32.  Still a bit rich for something im going to repaint anyway.

I don't think they colormatched them to begin with. I think they come flatblack.

Is this the piece you are needing?

If so, I have mine and I will sell. Both tabs are good and small pieces that hook into the sides. Plus screws and spacers.
