I think I will keep the rigid shocks as well as the ribbed fender with their supports if you think it won't look too "cluttered". As I said, I would rather have the bolt on rigid rear end, but hey, this may not look too bnad, huh?
Thanks again, my friend

One bro had a rat 86 incher Shovel with a bolt on hardtail. This was back when an 86 was considered a big motor, and you could expect to do a top end in 12 - 15k miles if you rode it hard. He'd light that thing off, flames shootin' out those shorty goose neck drags, and nail it to the stops takin' off. Eventually he'd have to go 'round tightenin' things up from the poundin' that stroker did. Used to hear this high pitched "shing-a-ling" sound. That meant the bolts holdin' the bolt-on tail were loose, and the flat washers were playin' a tune.
Sometimes I'm flat-out amazed some of us ol' fools are still around!

pococj....I am thankful all you "ol' fools" are still around. You make it totally possible for the new generation of "old school wannabees" to live through what you guys did. Like I told piniongear a few nights ago....I would rather get stuck on the road with one of you guys than the fella that buys a brand new model each and every year and can't even find the drain plug to change their own oil.
You take care and I'll keep all you crazy "ol' fools" up to date on my progress......

Here's more of what I had in mind.
This fender on my old '72 CH runs from the top frame rails to just barely past 12 o'clock.

I took this snapshot a few months ago, a retired scooter in storage.
Terrorized the streets here in the late 1960s,
this fender would look and work well on any machine:
