Late Chief fender trim strips

[Rodger Brandstatter]

I am looking for the fender side trim strips for a 46 Chief in new or very good condition for a restored bike. Need the the front for sure and the rear if available.

I would be curious if you find a source as I heard on the grapevine that new trim is not currently being made.

That was where I was at, Rodger. On a Sport Scout, there are many things that can't be done until you have painted fenders, and mounted trim and the trim can't be mounted with wheels in place (like a Chief). The SS is a sadistic puzzle with many idiosyncratic rat holes, and blind alleys to drive you crazy. However, I am fascinated by it, and keep coming back for more
