Rob, did you move your fender at all?

I have a set of native custom brackets that I did not use, if you are interested, I will sell them at half price plus shipping. PMme if you are interested in them.

I was originally going to go with some chromed 16" wheels when I bought the kit, but changed my mind. They should work fine with the 18"'s your looking at. Let me know.

That's a very good price. If I had to just lower the fender I would go with Native Customs. I had to replace the whole fender due to some damage it sustained when someone backed into my bike while it was parked. I also checked out Klockwerks who have a similar program as Native Customs but it was going to cost me around $500 to paint after the fabrication.
I haven't seen my bike yet with the new fender it's in the shop also waiting on my wheels which are being powder coated.

The brackets are on ebay regularly as well as fenders that are already lowered.

I've decided on going with 18's both front and rear and wondered how you guys that have lowered or know someone that did lower their front fender to give it that "big wheel" look, how was it done?[sm=ummmmokay.gif] I've examined the setup on my bike and would like some input.
Dremmel the holes........whaaaaaaaaaat?

I also used the native custom brackets but I just ground down the rivets from the inside, becareful not to get them to hot. Then clamped the fend to the brackets on the bike, marked the holes, drilled them and used chrome allen screws with blue locktite and bolted the on. Looks good. If I had the extra money to have thempainted I would have welded them on but the chrome allen screws dont look that bad.

Native Baggers and myself are playing phone tag, but if I do get the bracket, I'd like to get it from ya Rob.
Thnks hillbilly for the link and all for the replies and feedback. Next week is going to be a busy week with installation of lowered shocks, wheels and now a possible fender project lurking in the wings.[&:]
