Native Custom Baggers Install Sheet NEEDED!
Could anyone who has installed the NCB Fender Lowering Kit please post their install sheet? I have a kit, but no instructions, I was wanting to look at it this weekend, but we will see if I can get instructions. I have emailed NCB, but have not heard back. They deserve their weekends too, so I understand.
Thanks

I used there kit to lower my fender. There is a mark on the brace and I "think" it points forward when on the fender but don't remember. I think it can only go one way anyways, so just bolt the braces up on your forks with your wheel on the bike and mock up the fender where you want it. Use some vice grips and bite the fender once you get the look you want. Give it a personal look. Remove the fender with the vice grips attached and then weld the bracket(s) in place.
One thing I did was put some Black undercoating in the place where the braces were going to attach to the inside of the fender to keep moisture out after the brace was welded.

UK pretty much summed it up, but I'll post anyway.
1) There are arrows cut into the brackets and should be pointing forward when mounted. Left or right doesn't matter.
2) The spacers go between the fork leg and the bracket.
3) Get a piece of rubber hose that is the same thickness as the space you want between the tire and fender. I wouldn't go less than 1/4". Tape this to the center of the tire.
4) Position the fender where you want it, resting it on the rubber hose. There is room to move it forward and back to get the look you want. You can also use a magnetic level on the fender to check for level. Just be sure the bike is level when doing it.
5) Once you have it where you want, clamp the fender to the bracket. Vise-grips work, as do small c-clamps. If you're using the 21" wheel brackets, you might have to cut off the small lip that is on the inside of the fender in order to get everything level.
6) I tacked my bracket to the fender with a wire feed welder while it was still on the bike, then took it apart and had a buddy finish weld it with a heli-arc (i think).
Hope this helps.
