Fender Mount

I cut the fender struts just a little short, so there is a good chance I will have to remake them after a test ride. To make matters worse, my welder went berserk and started splattering all over the place right when I tried to final weld the bungs to the struts, so I will probably do them again anyway, but at least the fender is on the bike.

Fender mock-up

Mounting an aluminum 7 Metal West fender this week. Cobbled a headlight together from a leftover FX headlight bucket and some scrap metal and wired it up with a toggle switch for the high beam.

Mix-N-Match

Let's try a 16-inch front...

New Forks for 60FLH

Swapped a set of 73-77 FLH forks I had in the parts pile on my 60FLH for the FXWG forks it came with. The FXWG forks are either 2 or 4 inches over so these really dropped the front end of the bike, and now it sits a little high in the back. I tried to lower it with a set of 12-inch FX shocks but it was way too low, so the happy medium is somewhere in between those and the stock 13.5 shocks. Need to figure out the front brake too. The 12-inch dual disc lines up with the caliper mount on the left side, so a Banana caliper should work.
