Fenders and mock up:
I'm using two front fenders that I got from
@Harleys Papa. I was able to line up and notch the fender on the front fairly easily. I'm going to remove the rivets so that I get a good coat of powder on the brackets and fender. I'll reassemble with pan head screws.
I kept the front fender pretty close to the wheel--
I learned from my Ruttman build that the thin sheet metal fenders vibrate a lot. So, I had welded a tab to the swing arm to mount the fender and made a bracket. It screws into a brace that fits inside the fender (I still have to square it up).
This brace really stiffened the rear fender in front. I will have to re-shape the OG fender brackets to clear the sprocket and shave a bit off the fender on the sprocket side to allow for chain slap. So after all that, I mocked it up and rolled it out to the family room to get a look on the ground. It's long, low and mean looking. There was a custom Rupp in the show at Windber last year that has a similar stance. I loved the look and we'll see how this Broncco turns out.
That's the Boxer's nub in the lower right!
