As for the fender, it looks like it's mounted directly under the seat pretty low to the tire... are you worried about bottoming out?

+1... Biggabaddaboom!... Huh

...

I've rode it thru a lot of bumpy roads and then check the tire/fender and there are no signs of rubbing at all, and one of the guys in the dealership that I work is a big heavy guy and took it for a ride and the suspension worked fine with no rubbing, so I think I'm lucky on that and I'm not worried anymore

Nice build! Where did you get that seat from? And could you post pics of how it's attached?

I got that seat from West Eagle Motorcycle products their part number is: A-004BK but they are going out of business so I don't know if they have it in stock, but you can get it from Tucker Rocky part number: 568531 they have some in stock , The front seat bracket is from drag specialties parts # ds-902014, it takes place instead of your stock seat front bracket and it bolts right on no modifications needed, and the actual seat bracket is from drag specialties too part # ds-902013, I'll post pics

Awesome thanks for posting the pics. I actually had that front attachment in a cart ready to buy, but I wasn't sure how I'd attach it. If it just bolts right onto the older seat mount, then I'm stoked! The spacing looked smaller for some reason. Also, looks like you opted to go without rear springs. I guess there isn't room for them with the seat low and up against the back frame? How did you mount the seat in the back then?

Also, I would love to know the size fender you got. Do you think it's strong enough to hold a light passenger by any chance?
