I am looking at purchasing a 2000 Road Star that has been customized to
make an even sweeter looking bike, but I have a question for the groups
to see if the "imperfections" on this bike are legit or not. The
seller claims that there are 2 small cracks due to tail wag "which are
common on this model bike." What I am wondering is: 1. Is that
statement true, is this common on this model bike as I have never heard
of the term "tail wag" and 2. How difficult/expensive can it be to fix
small cracks in the fender (other than replacement).
Thanks,
Paco

welding and repainting may = the cost of replacement unless
you find one of the correct color at the breakers. unlikely.
fenders do crack around mounts fairly easily.
