That's going to look awesome.
Just my 2 cents...but I would put a string on the axle nut and draw a line on the fender all the way around the same radius as the wheel and cut it. Would flow so much better if they matched and the same amount of tire is exposed everywhere.

Lookin good! No need for fork brace, at least not IMO. I run fender less and no brace, never seen any adverse handling issues. Maybe thin about a fatter tire up front to balance? Overall, nice look. What rear fender is that?

It's the desperado fender from J&P... I've still got the stock front fender, and it will be going to paint along with the rest of the sheet metal. Eventually I will get one with a little more meat on it to match the tail end, but I kinda want to wait and see about doing a springer front end in the fairly near future. I didn't get a chance to go to the shop and work on it today, but tomorrow afternoon should be spent finishing up the welds and then prepping the fender for paint as much as I can. Thanks for the posts, ideas and encouragement y'all...
