Looks friggin' SICK! I say go for it and keep the flare. I want to do the same thing, but I'm a little squeamish as to whether I'd be able to get someone to match the paint to tank and front fender.

Story-
What did you do for the tail light? Did you integrate it with your turn signals? If so, how did you do that? You have the sweetest-looking Train on this forum, bro.

If you do end up doing it or have it done I would really think about have braces put in the longer you go the more it shake around.

Good suggestion, thanks bro! Sik Sled also

My first issue is hoping I find someone that can make my fenders locally and the second is hoping they don't try to get rich makin em.

Thanks, but some killer rides all over this forum. And yes my brake, run and turn all in the turn signal housing... I used Dogeyes but mine is a older model but same setup... Mine everything is hardwired... First I tried just a rund turn brake module but the differrence between the run and brake wasn't good enough for me...

Running

Brake

Amber ring around the red for turns...i ride in the frontof our group and all the
riders behind me say they can see the turn sig without any probs.

I like the PS'd rear fender and it looks great as-is. When I look at the front fender and compare it to the rear, I see a lack of symmetry between both. IMO try adding (via PS) 1-2" of length and flare to the bottom/rear of the front fender. In your picture, the front fender appears longer in the front (ahead of the tubes) than the bottom/rear. Lengthening the back part would make it somewhat symmetrical with the rear fender. Hope that all makes sense.
