[QUOTE="backlander, post: 114890, member: 2035"] Time flies when life happens while your working on a project. Started on the body mock up today, feels great being under the shed and close to the tools without having to tote them in and out and cover stuff up from the weather. This is the 77 rear fender hard mounted to the 84 frame using the factory bolt holes. I like the look of the big tire and how it fills up that fender. [ATTACH type="full" alt="WP_20140413_005.jpg"]8194._xfImport[/ATTACH] Also had an idea of making a "floating" fender that is mounted to swing arm and moves with the tire. Interesting huh !! Put a factory style seat on and I'm not crazy about the look of this, could look better with rear rack on but I don't know. I'm thinking solo seat/with rack would look better. [ATTACH type="full" alt="WP_20140413_008.jpg"]8195._xfImport[/ATTACH] The plan all along is to use the Vetter 4 fairing, with interstate gauge cluster custom fitted to it. I was curious as to how a late model Ninja nose would look on a wing so crazy me had to try it just for looks. After all what better time with a stripped wing just sitting there.
