did you document all that on here? at least put up a pile of pictures!  I'd love to follow your lead and see what you got.

Here's my front fender plopped on the rear wheel, different diameter but even so, should work, weld brackets to the area right above the axle ruler, or I have other schemes, I just like the look........

Hey Jvandyke.
This is the wish list/to do list. The frame has been cut and is ready for powder coating. I have a box of new part and am looking forward to fitting them. Still need to do some engine work which may take a month or two. Want it on the road late spring early summer.

That fender looks slick. Do it.

From E-Bay. It's out of Hong Kong and takes about 2 weeks to arrive but good quality. Had some contact from the supplier who has other café products to offer.

Starting to wish I had gotten one of those, or similar, making mine from scratch sounded good at the time.......... >:(
