Default how to make motorcycle mudguards

I think the parts you're referring to are commonly known throughout much of
the rest of the world, as fenders.

I think you may have better luck finding sources, techniques etc, by
searching for them with terms such as: motorcycle fender fabrication or
forming.. and possibly the word custom.

G'Day,

does anyone here have knowledge, articles, experience, etc to cover how
metal motorcycle mudguards are made?

I suspect it involves a number of matched former rollers in a frame which
allows the roller pairs to be adjusted much like the rollers in a
sliproll.

The guards we're interested in are standard C section guards in metal
which are shaped into a circular shape for at least 270 degrees.

If anyone has any information (links, article references, etc) which can
help us make up a machine to make some guards, please help since the
"local" guy who used to make them for the restoration hobbyists is so
overworked that deadlines are being dropped.

Thanks in Advance
