Title: my fenderectomy (3 pics)
Post by: weaselnoze on May 24, 2005, 05:24:53 PM
someone sent me an email asking how i bolted my plate up.  well i figured i would post up here just to show u a little of my fenderectomy.  the plate is attactched underneath the toolbag holder via 2 metal pieces roughly 5in long x 1/2 in wide with 4 holes.  i only used 3 holes for each side as you can see in the picture.  2 holes for bolts that go into whats left of the fender and 1 hole for the plate.   i also had to fab up some turn signal hangers out of aluminum (painted on outside) which bolts up with the metal strips.  im really bad at explaining things and prob just wasted my time since no one really cares  :nana:

What's the difference between that and a stock, except for the license plate?

I want to replace the "mud-flap" with a chrome fender...  Like 70's JP bikes.   :mrgreen:

That license plate shot reminds me of a PA plate that I saw at a Grateful Dead concert once. I think a lizard was driving the bike...
