i just did this, finishing up the fabrication and welding of a support bracket (the stainless is flimsy at that point),

just about ready for paint. I hope i don't get too much debris on me

I should get it back cut on Tuesday. So lets see what our back will say than The support bracket is not good news for me, will see if i realy need it......

I have actually maybe crazy idea but what about something like telescopic fender? I mean make it short as possible to show that tire but while raining just extend it to position to safe your back? It should not be difficult to fabricate something like this and there is plenty room in rest of fender to hide it ?!
