Thats what I thought at first but I put it in the tub and cleaned it up.
I ain't no mechanic, but damn, that much damage to the fender, the tire must have been shredded?
No issues with the tire' I am changing it due to mileage; it is a Commander III and has 14000 miles on it.
Well only a size 12 but with the footboard extensions it sets it out some so I will soon see.

2017 Tri-Glide versus ~100 Lb deer
On the way to work this morning at 0545 it finally happened. I work on a Naval base in Indiana and to get to work it is 12-13 miles of forest from the gate to the building got within 2 miles of the building and a doe bolted across from the left side while I was running 45 MPH. Usually, I see...
Bottom line is it was a $10K hit replacing both forks, left side lower and handlebars.
While they had it, I had a rake kit from Papa Zook installed as well as a FST Asymmetric Fork Cartridge System from DK Custom.
I was able to come to a full stop without any issues, I didn't think I had left the road but when I went back later, I found the right wheel had been in the grass and I missed a sign by 1-2 feet and didn't realize it.
The deer rolled around the left side (I knew this from the pellets pressed on the gas tank) then went around the back of the bike, lost its tail on the back bumper then went down a 4-foot bank and the momentum kept it going until it was even with me in the ditch
She didn't make it.
Took the front fender off and rode it home after lunch.
It's a day I will never forget,
Right up there with driving my truck at 50 MPH and seeing a deer upside down and broadside flying at me.
Another long story, it hit 6 inches below the top of the windshield.
Another car going the opposite direction hit it first.

Pics of the RJS stainless steel discs, they really make the Twisted Cherry rims stand out, and the extended floorboards with the extended shift pegs. The extended rear heel shift lever makes lots of room for my foot.
Very NICE set up!!!!
oooh, I like those floorboard extensions, I been wondering about something like that too, may have to look into that, whats the measurement on the extension?
What I'm running on the Tri Glide are the DK floorboard extenders. Approximately an inch and a half out. Makes a lot of difference with the engine heat on my legs.
cool, gonna look into those, I didn't know I needed them until I saw the difference in your footboard placement and mine, even with the longer shift pegs, i was grumbling to myself how close my foot/leg was to the engine, that actually looks like further away than 1-2inch, makes me wanna run out today and get them,
You won't regret it.cool, gonna look into those, I didn't know I needed them until I saw the difference in your footboard placement and mine, even with the longer shift pegs, i was grumbling to myself how close my foot/leg was to the engine, that actually looks like further away than 1-2inch, makes me wanna run out today and get them,

I can't remember which bike or trike, but I had a rock get wedged between the fender and the tire and it made a crease, which then cracked the paint and clear, just like what you have pictured.
