That is gonna look great. Stay on top of that guy at Shadey Tree Customs I mean Shade Tree Customs. Not too many people who bought from him are happy with his stuff or his lack of customer service. Granted there are a few who came out alright. Call that guy daily until he answers his phone or is sick of you calling and calls you back. Did you get the fender raw or painted? From watching the forums on this fender you are gonna have to weld a lower bung for a third mounting point. Or reinforce the two that are gonna be on there. Should be no problem unless the fender is painted. Good Luck, keep us posted and post pics. As far as the ECU and PC 3 you should be fine with it ontop of the battery. Mine is there and I haven't hit it yet with my spring seat.

I talked to Kyle yesterday and he said the fender shipped on Friday. He said that he has someone else spins the fender, so I guess he doesn't even see them before they ship.
I got it unpainted because I plan on cutting quite a bit of it off.
I will post some better pics tomorrow when I get back from San Antonio. Those were at night in my garage.

Does anyone know how weather/waterproof the ECU is? I am still having a dilemma on where to mount it.
I cut the Crossbones battery cover up today to try and figure out if I am going to be able to use it or not. Hope to piece it together and use it.

I bought the Crossbones mounting kit with out the seat on Chicago Hd for $100, so I am using different pieces from it. I dont like the way the stock XB seat sits so high so Kyle said to ditch the rear posts and it would lower the seat to the position I wanted.
Still haven't figured out how to cover the battery and fuse area, so any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well it took me a couple of hours and and few blown fuses, but the Model A tail light is up and running. Thanks to those who gave me some pointers on the wiring.
Still waiting on the fender to get here. Just looking at the brackets, I don't think I am going to like the Shade Tree kit, but I am trying not to get too discouraged.
