Thumbs up My new front fender before paint
Well since i'm going bananas waiting for this rear wheel, rotors and sprocket to get here I figured I'd take some pictures of my new front fender and post them since you guys love pictures.

I'm going to drill some holes on top of the fender before i get it painted so i can put some spikes on it. I'm taking suggestions so guys please help me out here. The spikes i'm going to put on the front fender are smaller versions of what i have on the rear fender right now (i posted a pic so you guys can see them).

New fender is wicked, but it has enough of its on design element to put spikes on it. IMO, spikes will take away from the look, not add (less is more defintely applies in this instance)

yeah, i'm still going to chop the rear fender. it's going to look something like the one on these pictures

you guys don't like the spikes huh?! I kind of agree with you guys on leaving the front fender alone (there is plenty going on it already with all those sharp edges).

I might put some smaller spikes on the rear fender though, something not as big and obnoxious as the ones i have on there now.
