decided to mount the fender to the swingarm,made a bracket then welded it on,will make my fender struts myself also,i used the front fender for my rear,i doing everything on a tight budget,wich means hacksaws and cutoof wheels on my 4 1/2" grinder,my job gave us $75 walmart gift cards for xmas,got me a nice dremmel kit,so much easier to cut that fender down,if the overtime would pick up at work this project would get done so much faster.painted the motor a cast coat iron mettalic color,500 degree engine paint.looks really nice just gota decide bike colors to paint my covers
