Only used or if some Kaw shop just happens to have some they forgot about (but this is doubtful at this point).

You can keep watch on AVA's and other classified ads, and ask Carl Leo if he might have a line on some. He does keep chrome when he finds it, also a few others here sometimes offer used chrome for sale.

Don't forget Ebay. There may be some there, or set up a search to notify you when some show up.

Although I have a front fender rail on my '94, I find myself not recommending this add-on to fellow Voyager riders. More and more I have seen front fenders irreparably cracked around the imbedded mounting retainer nuts molded into the fender, due to the vibration and weight of the rail. I had to replace my front fender. Not a cheap endeavor. Another issue I've encountered was the chrome tabs of the rails actually cracking off at the mounting point of the forks.

Just be informed. They do look nice, though!

Picked up just about every piece of add on chrome for the XII from Mike Norris yesterday and figured I couldnt put everything else on and not the front rail. Carl is sending me one and Ill give it a shot.
