Have the same bike, they are beautiful. Are you having any problems with front fender? or have you reinforced it?

Just that its not centered and needs a little tweaking. Other than that no rattling or anything like that. Did you have to mod yours? I still need to cut the rear fender to clear the chain.

The "L" bracket on mine was poorly riveted and ready to fail. After reading some horror stories, I just removed it. I was bummed as it really added to the overall look of the bike. I cut out the rear fender with a pair of snips. It was a butcher job but as I had not allowed for enough room for the chain to bounce around, the chain actually smoothed it out. Just realized that, lol and I highly don't recommend doing it that way. I am going to put springer forks on her soon so as to (aside from the obvious, bump and vibration reduction) try and even out the ascetics of front and rear.

SGT: nice lookin' bike. good, fat welds on that frame.
How do you like the Limited kit? besides the premium hardware (double brake-pull lever, chromed/dished sprocket) i really dig having wrist-pin bushings. revs out higher.
Dan is right about the fender. you really need to ad an extra, heavy gauge "L" bracket to the front fender (for total of two), or toss it out. There have been quite a few guys' factory tabs breaking. the front of the fender drops down, catches the tread, follows the tire, fender support rods follow up the the forks and LOCKS front wheel up, sending sgtnorthcutt over the handlebars. we dont want that.

I too have the same bike. I simply dremeled the rear fender. And I reinforced the front fender with fiberglass from underneath. VERY rigid now. I may have the paint to match the frame coming. It's a testors paint, so if you want to take it a bit further let me know. I'll post the results of my paint match. As you can see with my current paint, it's a bit off.

"I reinforced the front fender with fiberglass from underneath." very cool, bet it has not a bit of rattle? Did you use a solid piece Moto?

Hi... I can't see the engine mount very well.
Did you add a center bracket at the bottom to help support the motor? I'm doing a lot of research on how to support the motor from the bottom..
It would be great if you could post a closer detail view. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
