And yes I know my bike is filthy. Lol I had a lil cruise in the rain
I think you've done a great job.

Have you considered trimming the front fender mount area on the front part to eliminate the unused mounting hole?
It looks like the brake pads are not making good use of the full area of the brake rotor.

I don't think that extra material on the mounting area of the fender looks too bad. If for some reason he had to re paint the fender than I would worry about it.

I think us rocker guys are the only ones who have to deal with fender mounts on our fork legs that are on top of each other instead of side by side. So annoying !!!

Like that last picture you put up Jo.

I think that the breakout fender mounts the same way. They have wider trees so I dont think their fenders will mount up anyway

The Breakout has the same mounts, which made it difficult for me to find a fender when I changed to the BO front wheel.

Agree, Jo's fender doesn't look bad at all as it is, but may give it some thought of he was looking to do further work on it.

Thanks, the front fender isn't done yet. I just spray bombed it, once I decide on paint I will trimmed and shaped nicely. Yeah these pm break pads suck

for that extra ground clearance in the winter, so you can still drive your race car!
