If you lower that fender...it will hit the wheel at end of travel, and probably bend the front end, or at least throw you over the handlebars.

This guy converted a "dirt bike" springer to the later floating fender mount.

Okay fender arrived yesterday and it has the look I was after. Now here is the down side no instructions or hardware so my ? is how to attach it to the front brake caliper. I know that there is a swivel adjustable rod see picture
