Hey ya'll. Just getting to the point on my build where I need to figure out a rear fender setup before I go much further. I've installed the visual impact kit with Honda rebel shocks, And I'm wanting a fender mounted to the swing arm. I was tempted to go the flat trailer fender route but I just...

Cool Bike! Wish I could do the same but My bike is a special with the fat tire out back.

That area is covered in grease and oil, Thanks for bringing it up! I wouldn't have known to check until I blasted the frame. I'll go have a look the next time I wrench on er'. Safety first! Thanks!
