Default Another little change.
I never have liked the looks of the front fender on my bike,doesn't follow the curvature of the tire very well and seemed too far forward.

I ground and drilled the rivets out and moved the fender back a few inches by reversing the fender mount and using the forward hole on the fender to mate with the rear hole on the mount and cinched the bolt down real tight along with some gorilla glue and didn't use the forward bolt holes on the mount. Had to drill a new hole for the lower bolt on the tubes to get the right angle but at least the back portion aligns with the tire now even if the front is a little high.

Hope this makes sense, it's kinda late.

Good Luck

Tom
