It dont matter if I win this fight. It dont matter if he opens my head either. Because I was nobody before this fight. Ya see, all I want to do is go the distance. Nobody has ever gone the distance with Creed. Ya see, if I can go that distance, if that bell rings and I am still standin, I will know for the first time in my life that I werent just another bum from the neighborhood.

So went down to true value today and picked up this sheet metal.
Got out the grinder and started cuttin, and drinkin!!! Made it the same shape as the mount on the hugger fender and bolted it to the arm using the stock hugger bolt holes.
Mocked up the fender and fabbed up a couple of struts.
Gotta have my buddy tack the fender to the steel plate mount. Then have to bolt the struts to the arm.
Then I should have a plain steel fender that matches the tank better and balances the look of the bike a bit more. Thats the plan anyway!!!

A member on another forum quickly pointed out that the flat stock struts kinda look like ****. I will probably go to a round stock bar and bend it over the top of t fender. that is the idea anyway.
Will post picks when I get it done.

Gave up on the rear fender project. Just couldnt get it the way I wanted it. Maybe next winter. 
Well, I put a new sticker on the old hugger, does that count??
