I can't help but think that your rear bobbed fender looks like no fender. How about a different fender extended about 4 to six inches and with more skirt? Paint it yellow to match, and then you got something.

Bentwheel, I was kinda going for the no fender look but I didn't really want every little rock on the road hitting me in the back. But thanks for the idea, I do like it. In the end the whole bike will be the same color but probably not yellow. I like the yellow but when I paint it the yellow will only be a memory. I'm thinking "Thing" needs a more sinister paint scheam. The yellow is so "Happy".

Sluggo, thanks for the offer on the bracket pics. I'ld like to see them. The decals are gonna go as well I just haven't gotten around to it yet. The ones on the side covers were easy to get off so I yanked them shortly after taking the pics.

And I dunno, I like the yellow on Thing. Kinda reminds me of a hot rodded Model-A my grandpa used to have. Love the handlebars. Hang 'em high!

As for a paint scheme to replace the "happy" yellow? How 'bout a flat black, flat red 2-toned vintage Bobber scheme?
