He pops up every once in a while. I wanna say he's from Denmark but not sure. Flannigan_so and so or something like that. He's the one with the super wide handlebars. The PO had trimmed the upper belt guard, instead of removing it, and it looks pretty slick IMO.
i think i've seen that one, it is or was a red bike right? that was wicked sweet and i honestly at one point had the wrench in my hand and was all set to take off the belt guard when i looked up and realized that i was in pretty far over my head already and decided to wait for another time....like maybe this weekend haha...
and yep, got the fender off without taking off the wheel (or i should say me and my buddy's 4000 tools got it off...i think in the end it was a socket wrench with an extension and an angled socket and banging the crap out of it...there was no way it was going back on haha), cuz taking it off looked waaaaay more complicated that i could handle, thought about chopping the stock one for about 6 seconds but the amount of smoothing that would need to be done to get rid of all the darn angles seemed to make spending 25 bucks on a trailer fender that much more appealing...
