Very nice. I hope you repositioned that front fender so that you don't blister the paint on that great looking bike. Looks Great!

I did Bigsky. I taped a 5/16 nut to the tire and can get it to go through without touching. Had a friend that didn't want to listen to me on that one, he learned the hard way. His didn't rub at first but one night on the interstate the tire must have expanded.

Looks Great.

Did you tape a 1/4 inch nut to the tire and check for clearance?

I apologize in advance if you already checked for clearance but I'd hate to see a fellow rider posting how the front fender paint bubbled.

Ride Safe.
