what did you do with those missing frame rails?
have you check that when the forks are bottomed out that the wheel doesnt hit things....
also did you know that the fender acts as a brace and is important to have for the front end?
I understand that you are building a bike for a look and not to actually handle but no need to be unsafe
Frame rails were thrown away and had ends welded on with L brackets for my lights. A cross bar was made to bolt the fender in place and replace the rigidness for the back of the frame.
I have front fender now, I built one from one of my CL 175 projects I am doing. Ill post pics soon.
Also, no it doesn't bottom out at all or catch my exhaust when I turn. It was carefully measured out before I dropped it and set it in.
Where did you pick up this rear fender?
I made it from the inner rear fender. I actually made it as a template to make one out of metal, then I liked the plastic mainly so I dont have to worry about dings and paint chips off of flying objects.
And thanks a lot guys. I'll post some more photos soon as the seat is done and the lights and license plate is installed. Score one for antique motorcycle registration. $50 for 5 yrs.
