I like the rear fender too. I'm guessing the rear fender, Model A taillight and seat are all from BCB. Looks like a nice setup that didn't require tons of extra hours designing your own mounts.
Well done bro, well done!!!

Rear fender was BCB, since it came with the seat. The tail light was model A cheapy from ebay. The one with glass plate. I could not justify spending so much on just a tail and turn signal from BCB.
The lic plate holder was included in the BCB seat/fender combo. When I mount the fender this week, the lic plate will come off. I will take close picture. It is really simple design and some of us should be able to fabricate it I would guess.
By the way, I rejetted today. So much more power. But still getting pops on decel. I have not done the spacer mod yet... I wonder if that will fix it. Oh, I also need to change the spark plug.
I am just super glad I can ride. Being unable to ride for two weeks was a super drag.

My next project after getting the bike running smooth will likely be very cosmetic... either a nose art or hood ornament. What do you think of hood ornament idea? I thought it was good idea, but it may turn out to gaudy...

As for the hood ornaments all you can do is try, I don't mind the top babe with the flowing locks, if I were to pick. Thats just my opinion tho! Who knows, little something extra to spice it up might just be the cherry on top! or.. it could be a little to much. Take a snap with where you would want to put it in the position it would be with sticky tack! See what everyone thinks

A little undecided on the hood ornament, leaning towards not... BUT... Might change my mind if I saw one on there and liked it!

I think it needs an ornament just because the front is so close to stock. I like the bottom one. Or you could check out the one I have in the Marketplace.

Somebody has an awesome coin on their front fender.... but my mind is blank as to who.
Have you thought about decals? I have been thinking about these, and they are having a 50% off sale!

I think its a very personal choice.... how to adorn your bike... Go with your gut.

Yep, I remember the coin...it was a nice touch. Good job on the build tie. I've been thinking the BCB seat is the way to go also. Is that the small seat or the large?
I probably won't bob for a while (till I wreck!).
I'm getting mine to the point where I can call it a "sleeper"...

Savage kit only comes with larger seat. Very comfy on a ride. But, it kinda digs into by inner thigh when stopped. It is not to bad, but I didn't expect that.

I am looking for a good artist to do the nose art... shying away from store bought decals.
I just saw The Red Baron on netflix. I am considering doing a WWI plane theme.

Painting is such a pain. I dropped my fender and now it has a nasty nick on it. I had to wetsand, reclear coat... one thing it is teaching me is patience.
