Before photos - new rear fender for FXD
#34
That bikes gonna look great. On my setup I was also forced to run the fender lower than the factory bolt holes. Other wise it just sat too high and I had clearance issues with my sissy bar. Thanks for all the updates and pics along the way. I have been stealing your ideas for months now.
Love the battery box Idea.....humm, looks exactly like the one I used to have on my old FLH Shovel? jk........

The other thing that is beginning to get my attention is a battery cover that bikerlaw had sent me ... I'm going to knock the rust off of it and see if I can figure out a mounting scheme ... the cover is bigger and does not have a 'right angle' on the front side ... I am thinking I'll bend the sides back against the front and then from a point set back in about 1/2" - 3/4" bend the sides back in and cut them to fit the existing battery tray/box ....

I thought I had given credit where credit is due ...
I'm going to try to mock the fender up on my bike this afternoon ... see how it sets with my QD sissy bar/rack ....

I trimmed the front part of the fender last night ... took a couple of photos; but, didn't get a chance to post them up ... will plan on posting them up this evening ....
Also, spent some time wire-brushing the inside surfaces of the battery cover ... it was corroded pretty bad ...

Thanks for the idea ...might have some application ... maybe throw in a few C-clamps and bar stock into the mix ...?
[I just now noticed you changed the mufflers on your headpipes to tapers ... or reverted to your stock ...?]

I put the stock head pipes with modded mufflers back on it. The Cobra's seemed a bit much noise wise but I like the looks of them better so I'll probably put them back on in the spring. That or I'll talk the wife into a Fat Cat!

I meant to post my progress photos on 'my thread' ... but, due to some inter-rectal cranium issues posted them on bikerlaw's thread ... a couple of photos below and a link to the rest of the photos of my recent work ....
