The mesh looks good with the slots.

Thanks Sarah!! Glad you got me going on the chin spoiler mod .... I think it's gonna look really nice!!

The Thunderbike rear fender came in!! ...Now I have to figure out the best way to cut and/or grind about 3/16" off the 4 raised fender strut mounting points on the frame (last pic shows the 2 on the right side, rear mount has the hex bolt sticking out). The new fender bolts on at those four points.... I'm thinking a grinder, or maybe I'll hack them off with a cut-off wheel, then use a grinder to smooth/even them out....unless anyone has a better idea???..... also received my "Crimson Red Sunglow" base and mid paint, from Colormania, today!!

Can't wait to see that fender and spoiler on the bike.

Best thing you even found a carpet to match the color of the bike...awesome, lol!

Well then Valdemar, YOU should definitely keep it, DON'T do this mod!!!! .... I like the stock fender also, just want to change it up, and remember.... when I'm done, it will be 4 bolts and a plug and I can swap fenders in 15-20 min, if I want......Thinkin I still might run the stocker during the rainy months.

Yes, I have a 180 wrap fender coming from Bitchin Seats, made to fit the 120/70/21 tire...

Getting closer...Ground off the strut horns today!!!! Decided to tackle it with just the grinder, didn't use a cut-off wheel. I used tape, cardboard and strips of metal (you can see a door hinge that I took apart and used on top of the oil tank) to protect the paint, then wrapped the bike up in a tarp to keep the metal dust from getting everywhere, cut a couple holes in it....then went for it!!










Worked out great!! I'll fit the fender in the a.m. and post another pic....

LOL...I like your style, Rocker B, both ON and OFF the bikes!

Using that piece of door hinge was a good safety precaution...good thinking!

You know, if modern day surgeons paid as much attention to their work as you and LA_Dog do to your bike mods,
there'd be a lot fewer patients closed up with "sponges" left inside!

Good thread.

Good thread.
Thanks man!!...

Got the fender fitted, I did a little fine tuning with the grinder on the mounts, and was able to get it centered over the tire without having to use any spacers, I did need to drill new holes in the fuse box mounting plate, and move the fuse box forward about 1/4" to be able to get the fender far enough forward to align the mounting holes ....and I think my current Danny Gray seat is going to work fine, just need to modify the mounts... I'm glad, because it's super comfortable!!....also, I think I'm gonna leave the belt guard off, I like the open look...
