I guess it's my turn to hit the

The weight savings over the thinner steel fender is minimal. Plus you'll end up with all the issues of 'glas. Fitment, waves, breakage, etc.
On the fenders, stock steel is the way to go.

Maybe that says somethin?? By the way, the above comments are my opinion, and other people may feel differently.
Well, that site says "7.5 lbs". Anybody put a regular fender on a scale??
