Nice job mounting the fender to the springer fork.

I'm chiming in a little late here but it looks like the fender on the black bike has the front support attached to the sprung (or moving) fork and the rear support attached to the fixed fork. This would cause the fender to flex or pivot with movement of the suspension. You may not actually notice it right away but it could cause problems.
 
Wret, I not sure I follow, what your saying? Both fender braces are attached to the axle,, & the fender is mounted to the fork tube hole on the bottom with a heavy duty stainless bracket. I'll have to shoot some pics & post them. Thanks for noticing
