| Next job was the
rear fender, I donated 2 old Harley front fenders that I was not
going to use anyway. These came pretty close to the shape we wanted
and should save a bit of time. We removed the mounting brackets
and sandblasted them to see what shape they were in. |
| The 2 fenders did
not have exactly the same profile so they required a little bit
of massaging into shape. A little bit of work with the shrinker
and the planishing hammer and we had a nice, super narrow, rear
fender |
| We had some custom
ribbed motormounts, but in combination with the ribbed primary
it all looked too cluttered, the ribs were different in shape
and spacing. I decided to remove some of the ribs to make a more
simple looking shape; the recesses will be roughed up and the
high areas polished when it is time for final assembly. |
| We could not resist
taking the bike off the table and rolling it outside to get a
good look, always good for motivation! Now back on the table to
continue! |
