With your mods, especially the fenders the fishtails set it off just right. With everybody bobbing their bikes and fenders it is nice to see a tastefully done full fendered bike.

I gotta agree with everyone else here. The fishtails go good with that taildragger fender. Nice scoot all the way around.

Not a fan of fishtails but I have to agree that your other mods beg for them. The drag pipes don't fit the fenders.

yeah dude, the fender looks sweet like that. Did you just take the stock one and move it back? or is it aftermarket.
