Interesting...I like it...I may go in that direction too..I like the big fenders but I also like the idea of cutting and modifying them to make something unique...

This style of fender may look good....

Decided to put on these chrome bars..I think they compliment the rims nicely

So...decided I would just do a rear bobber fender for now...I think the style will suit the bike nicely..anyway..I had to do some bondo work on the rough pitted fender to try and get a smooth finish...as I am no expert body man I I had to spend a lot of time on it but still ended up with some pinholes and imperfections so I thought I should paint it in a way that would hide by poor bondo skills..I had some netting so I went for the snakeskin look...laid down silver paint first..wrapped the fender in the net...then a few coats of black...turned out nice...I’ll post pics of the bike when I get the fender on..

^^^ tell everyone it is carbon fiber for weight savings.

Got the fender mounted...and it all fits nicely...decided to use a fender brace even tho it was solid without it

Decided to put this reflector on the front ..need to find a similar one for the back

So I decided to put on the front fender...cut some off the bottom and front and painted...cut in a design ..need some chrome mesh screen to put inside it
