Rear Fender Protection?

I just trashed the back end of my rear fender, 1300R, I backed into a brick wall. I have seen some of your bikes that have a chrome bar that comes from the rear fender mount and follows the cutout for the wheel, wraps around the bottom of the fender as a gaurd. can some one send me a link on any kind of fender protection? I think I can cover the scratch, but I don't want to make it worse.

Bumper

I agree with BIG-X on this one. Any kind of impact other than very light, would probaly produce more damage than with out a bumper. The one's I've seen are only mild steel rod with chrome. I guess the best advice would be to watch your 6 when backing. I have big 3 straights and they hang pretty low. So I'm very carefull when rolling back. While the bumpers do look nice on some bikes, Don't think you would have any more protection.

I think this is a great choice. Just remember to watch your six when rolling backasswards. GG:cheers:
