Folks like these side carriers and are always on the lookout for these fenders and mounts. Or, I would care to wager you could sell the mount and fender, be able to buy another fender and have some change in your pocket.

I looked at doing the reverse process to one of my indented fenders until a good set fell in my lap. Looking at it though it looks like it would work to me. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yeah, I think Houston's referring to the same post you're thinkin of Steve - making the indent in a fender that doesn't have it was discussed some time back, and I think was recommended by MetalMan - no reason the reverse shouldn't work
