Is that fender steel or fiberglass? You don't happen to know what cruiser it's off of do you?

Default Finally getting around to it

I finally got around to messing with the rear fender again and this is kinda what it would look like. It's a metal fender off of some harley cruiser that I cut down to this size. I think it has kind of a retro feel to it. But I still need to make it mount right and paint it. Im not into the old chromed out front and rear fenders

Default Here's the result!

I took the fender, cut it down to size, Put a taillight that integrated the taillight, blinkers, brake light, and license plate mount ($20 on Amazon), made a 1/2" spacer for each side so the narrow fender would fit the bike perfectly, painted it, and got it all installed. Here's what it looks like. When I get the single seat finished I'll post up a picture of that. It looks much much better with the single!

Looks nice. I ended up using that trailer fender and letting it ride rather high due to keeping the rear suspension. to wit:





Looks much tighter with the seat on ... I just have it at the upholsterer right now.
