Default My fender fix.

I axed the sissy bar, and added these decorative stabilizer arms to the sides. I plan on pin striping them.




Then, 2 steel mounts were welded to the fender and bolted to the swing arm.




Obviously, the rear fender will have to be re-painted when riding season is over. I feel so much better riding now that I have a stable rear fender.

Here is the way it all comes together.

Good job, I like it. You don't see many bikes of that type here in Daytona, mostly baggers.

Is this a Scottish expression or a reference to the Simpsons?

You're keeping up just fine bro. Your ride is killer!


I googled it. Coming up Milhouse.

I thought maybe it was a cockney cartoon expression like the Brit in Ocean's 11 said:

We're in Barney!

Barney?

Rubble!

Rubble?

TROUBLE!

lol
