Help finding rear wheel rubber fender for bashan eagle 150cc milano. It bolts to right side on muffler (2 bolts) & left side of tire (1 bolt). Can't find a supplier.

Have you looked at PartsForScooters.com ?

or ScooterPartsPro.com ?


btw - listing where you have checked would be helpful as well.

They don't have this type of rear gender. Also looking for right muffler. They don't have what I need I think. It's hard to know for sure. I'm looking at the part, but it doesn't look like mine, but someone might have replaced it with a knock off. Because they didn't want to wait for the right part. Another suggestion?

Throw a pic up of what you have, that will give us a better idea of what you are looking for.

Getting old muffler welded. I'll post photo of fender/splash guard

Seanstr sent me a PM asking about these parts. Just to bring everybody up to speed I suggested he try our banner vendors starting with Scrappy. He wrote back saying that he struck out with Scrappy. Seanstr, I would try Dave at Absolutely Scooters next, he's very good at finding hard to locate parts. Also, I agree with 13lky2 that since this is turning a little more problematic, some pictures would help in that someone on the forum may have had to look for the same parts and can suggest a supplier.

As usual with Chinese scooters the suppliers can't come up with standard names for parts and therefore confusion as usual. This is often referred to as a mudguard and should be a easy to find generic part. However, Seanstr is correct, I did a quick Google search and had a hard time finding anything. I did find this on Fleabay:

Seanstr, if we're talking about the same thing, that's a generic common part and should be available somewhere. Your bike is a 2008 Bashan, I have two of them, it's not a bizarre bike and these parts are around. I did call the number that KZ provided for GS Motorworks and you're correct, they don't answer for some reason. I think there's some cosmic force trying to keep you from getting this part. I would suggest trying the Fleabay link and if that doesn't play out when you call around describe the part as the "rear mudguard, the rubber part that covers the tire". Maybe that will get through to somebody. Let us know what happens, Rich

Unfortunately for me that part isn't the right one. That won't attach.

Well then you may have to do what we talked about in a PM....adapt. I'm not a machinist by any means but the hardware stores make it pretty easy anymore. What I would use in your situation is some flat aluminum stock, maybe 1/8" or 3/16". You can cut it with a metal blade in a jigsaw or use a bandsaw. Then it's easy to drill mounting holes in the pattern you need with a regular drill bit. I get my metal stock at Tractor Supply but Lowes and Home Depot sell it too. Aluminum looks nice on the bike too, at least I think it does. That's what I would do at this point, I'd be tired of looking around. Rich

I'm also thinking of using the old piece, finding a new one that is close, & bolting together & cutting the conglomerate down to fit.

[Bashan]

Conglomerate is good, that's part of adapting and improvising. Maybe you could epoxy the two parts together. Rich
