Will be installing my new shocks and my new seat as soon as they get to the house but have a really quick question.. With 11" shocks how much travel will they have? For Ex. how far should my fender be off the wheel??

shocks have 1.46" of travel at the rear axle. I think you will want to keep the fender 1 3/4" or a touch more to be safe.

That looks sick dude. Finally someone made that bike look great!! I have always thought the fender on the F/B and W/G needed to be fixed and you did an awesome job! Maybe some of the Nightrain guys will take notice and fix their fenders too!

actually the street bob fender is well over an inch narrower. here is one I cut in half and bolted the 2 halfs to the struts of my fatbob. that gap is about 1 1/2 inches.
