Thumbs up

It should look nice.

Waiting for the pic that shows it installed. Maybe before and after

Installed a couple of days ago. Debating on pinstriping.



Dark, I know. I'll get a brighter photo soon.

Looks good!

Yes better lighting.

I was at a local dealership, the owner had installed a front rim and tire from an Ultra on his SG. Said it was more a smoother ride.

I like the looks, hugs the tire...

Here's a slightly better photo for ya. Love the fender, much better then the clunky stock one.

Don't think I'm going to bother pinstriping it. What do you think?

Pinstripes. Since the rest of the bike has them, it looks like something is missing.

Yeah, I am now thinking the same thing. Now to find someone around here that does it right. Painted on of course. Do you need to clear over stripes?

Thanks.

mchad, they don't need to be braced. the axle is what ties them to the tripple trees and keeps them alligned.
