Looks good. I really like seeing how all the various customs are progressing here.

What tried to eat your rear tire?

Do you need to remove the rear tire in order to put the fender on?

No...once the seat is off the brackets are under it.

But removing the stock fender in the first place is much easier when you remove the rear tire first...

I like this a lot! And the seat is...? Modified stock seat, or you built something?

I built the seat, however I've been looking at some available from Low Brow Customs for around a 100 bucks, overall dimensions and profile are the same but much nicer material and stitch patterns

Did you lower that at all or shorten the shocks?

Front is lowered 2inches rear is stock. I'm thinkin about an 18 inch rear wheel with 11 inch shocks.

17 with a low profile tire is about as big as you can get w/o modifying the swingarm RYCA style.  And I'm not sure about that cause I don't have a belt on that one... yet.

Nice!! Love it!

It is nearly exactly what I have in mind for mine.....particularly the seat/rear fender mod. I've been trying to explain to people what I want (since I have no fabrication ability and will have to get someone else to do that work). Everytime I try to explain it, I have gotten a lot of "so, is it a cafe racer or a bobber?"

Haven't figured out a way to explain how I want it to look so, glad to have a pic of yours now! Gorgeous!

Exactly, thats why I'm following those RYCA builds,not to mention everyone is doing a great job on them. I should be able to handle the swingarm mod.
