Dude, looks sweet! Being the clean freak that I am I really like how you can now get to the top of your rocker boxs to keep them clean and polished. I much prefer the "after" on your scooter!

IMHO, there is NOTHING worse than the Deuce rear fender. The transformation is quite shocking, to say the least- a HUGE improvement. Not a fan of visible mounting hardware though. The straight up and down bracket just ruins the lines of the bike for me.
