I ran through a flock of geese today in central New York. Managed to miss most of them but one bird bounced off my front wheel and broke the fender below the mounting bolts.

Now I need to find a cheap source of OEM parts. MR Cycle has the fender for $79 + $25 shipping. Any suggestions?

 
Since no one's mentioned it yet, I will: Congrats on staying upright. Glad you weren't broken like the front fender.

Thanks. It was a little scary. I was worried that one of the birds would go under the front wheel.I did manage to slow down and steer through them.

I don't know what spooked them...maybe a dog?
