OK, so the off-set is built into the flanges, (like the stock fender) so it's centered with the tire, right?? Do you have a pic from the front??... I'm thinkin this might be the way I go!!

I'll take a straight on tonight, I'm thinking that's what you are looking for. This is all I have right now. They are old, but show the fender and wheel/tire combo.

Here ya go, hope these help your decision. The front end is loose and the front signals are dangling, but there is a front shot of the fender.

Ya, that helps, thanks man!!.....

I didn't get a chance to do much over the weekend, was hoping to finish up today, but I got a late start and my garage was 90+ degrees by 11a.m., so I didn't spend much time on it. I hope to get an earlier start tomorrow before it gets too hot!!.... I've got the rear shocks and rear wheel/tire installed. I also removed the fender license plate mount, buffed out the rub marks it left on the fender and pulled the wire that ran inside the fender to the plate light and re-routed it along the inside of the swingarm, back to the new, side mount, plate holder...Still need to install the Progressive front springs/lowering kit, front wheel/tire and axel covers, then raise and re-install the front fender (might be temporary) and adjust the rear height with the 422's.....

Teaser pic...





I started playing with designs for the vents on the chin spoiler...Here's two looks, the top tape dot is about where the hole for the mounting bolt will be... I think I like the 2nd one.....with MORE SLOTS!!!

Yeah I agree...the 2nd one with more slots looks very nice. Go for it!

I would match the slots in the chin spoiler to the wheel spokes....

Agreed, the second pattern is better. You might even be able to pull off thinner slots in the same general shape, but two or three slots in each line length if the slots were thinner. Just an idea to try and give you as much airflow as possible

Yep, I agree, 5 vertical lines pattern looks much better other than keeping voltage regulator cooler.
If you manage to make some slots instead of continuous lines it'd look even better!
