Long story. I started with a $40 delivered ebay find. I did not know about the radius difference between swing arm mounting and strut mounting.



Sooo..... I had to buy a second fender, $103 delivered.



Then I had to learn how to weld. I welded the brackets for the upper swing arm mount.






This last picture was taken on February 6th. I started stripping the bike on Novemebr 24th. Of course there were some distractions....
