Front fender
#51
yup....that is sitting pretty low . as for your spacers .....try a local machine shop , they can spin some out in no time using some 3/4 round stock . worse case scenario I can turn some on the lathe and send em to ya . I only have ally round stock so if you're wanting the stainless .....sol .
if you want to keep the same radius shape as the upper front portion of your fender when you cut it ......make a cardboard template ( cereal box work great) trace the shape of the front part of your fender ( from the inside outwards ) cut with scissors , them transfer the shape onto the lower portion to be cut . mark the line and make your cut on the outside of the line ....this way you can slowly grind your way to the finished radius .
Good call on cutting outside the line and grinding my way back to the mark. I feel like I should send you a check for all the advice you're putting in here professor.
Thanks again sir.

Got my wires in the correct holes in the plug so now my high beam indicator doesn't flash when I use my left turn signal lol.
It's easy Jojo. If you're thiniing on doing it go for it. I'll walk you through it if you need help.
And I got the dashboard back. Looks pretty good. I'll get you some pics of that as well.
Here's a quick pic of the dash

I do t know why I feel like I cut it too short.
The front and back of the fender are the same length so it's not that. I think I just fell in love with how low it was originally. I love that look, but it's just not practical when it comes to riding. I'm left with 3 & 3/4 ground clearance.
Still taking me some getting used to it this short from what it was originally. What you guys think ? Too short?

Jojo I didn't forget the soeedo pics but I can't figure out how the hell to send pictures through pm (I don't think it can be done from a phone).
Here are a couple I took today. It's tough to get the full picture cause I don't have the gas tank on the bike when I took the pics but take it from me, when the tank is on, the speedo sits out just enough to be seen while ridding but not in enough where it's hidden under the tank making it look weird.

Here's a good look at how I routed the harnesses. Plenty of room under the tank for all wires. I've become a zip tie master lolol.
I looked at the joker machine bracket but I didn't like that it mounted to the frame itself. For some reason I though that would look weird lolol. I think that was the joker machine brakcet lololol. I've looked at so many parts for so many different ideas I've had that it's all one big blur. Lolol.
Anyway, all that's left now is take apart my gas tank and oil tank to be able to send everything to paint.
Thinking about that Cole Foster big sucker gas tank that Ink had on his thread. Please!!! someone talk me out of dropping coin on that thing and keeping my tank instead.
