I'm going to be making brass rivet on brackets to attach the rear fender struts to. I'm digging around for some brass rivets.... I found some copper ones but I think it might be too much....

This build is seriously challenging my life-time aversion to all things Harley! This guy sure was at the front of the queue when skills were being handed out!

After dozens of motorcycles, this my first harley....... Always made fun of them. But artistically they're a lot of fun to build.....

Upper rear fender mounts... Going to an old school bicycle build style lug. Will be trimmed for size and a little silver to keep it there. The fenders going to have brass hat bushing brazed into the mounting holes to take care of any vibrations

Nice work. Still not seeing how that's gonna go.

And no worries about the ADD, I'm the same way. Following along just fine :)

Keep on truckin'. If he hadn't botched it up, you wouldn't have gotten it for a decent price.

Looks great.
