RE: Lower legs done, fender?
Do you ride the bike or is it decoration?
Cuz riding without a front fender is crazy [&:], even though it looks BADA$$. I don't have a front fender so I fall into the Crazy Category...that is changing, though. I just got my fenderblankyesterday.
I thought my buddies were just jacking with me when they said I was Crazy, but I found out after the first ride how much the front fender keeps things from hitting the face...Hereis why....If you are caught in a light sprinkle, you will be as wet as if you had jumped into a pool. And every little puddle will cover your face with nasty water...even a sprinkler run off. I've been luckyso farin regards to rocks, but I am not chancing it anymore.
And then there is the bike that will never be clean again reason...but that is a whole other story. I have a Flat Black NightTrain Fender for sale if you are interested...I think that would look good on the bike with the powdercoated forks....
BTW...how much did you pay for the powdercoating...I might do it as well, it looks SICK!

RE: Lower legs done, fender?
I found a place that did it for 75 bucks. I took the legs off myself, it's a pretty easy job if you already turn a wrench. Another 20 bucks or so for new fork seals and about 2 bucks for a piece of pvc pipe to ram the seals back in and I was done. so around 100 bucks or so when it was all said and done.
How much for the fender? I think I'm good with my matching fender, but ya might have a point there, flat black might look good
