Looks like it's going to be a cool build. There are always bumps in the road on any project, but getting through them make it that much better. Can't wait to see it done.

Talk with Craig at Front Street Cycle, http://frontstcycle.blogspot.ca/

Handmade fenders built to your specs, just tell him the tire dimensions, what width you want it, how long, and if you want a side skirt or not.

He made my rear fender for my XS, it was exactly what I asked for.

Next thing I need to do before removing the wheels is lower the front fender. Should be able to get that done tomorrow.

I really like the way it looks here, have you ever heard the expression, "less is more?"

Yep, and I know this is just the first of many. lol

I'm pretty excited to see it too....don't have much time each week to work on it, so it is going to be awhile.

Yep, I had that puppy set up like a bagger, now am trying to go the opposite direction.

Like the way you're going with the *** end Kevin. That LedSled fender set up that Robbie came up with looks amazing. That may be my next mod...

Yeah, if mine turns out as nice as some of the ones I've seen, I'll be happy. Gonna be ordering the fender on Monday.

So far so good. Should be a nice bike when you're done.
