Now to figure what to do for a long 200mm rear fender...

Thanks man. It's getting a long rear fender next. Setting the new rear up with its own wire harness, lighting and struts so I can switch from long to short fender in a few minutes as the mood hits. I love the TN river too, grew up fishing at Pickwick and Saltillo. Hunted for arrowheads a lot at Mousetail and around Shiloh.
