So I'm starting to get my parts together to finish off the rear end. I've decided to use the full rear fender that I acquired which is loosely mocked up on the bike in the pic, then I cut and paste a solo saddle on it. I'll be cutting 3/4" off the front of the fender so that the tail isn't so far down on the back of the rear tire when mounted. I'm going to mount the front of the fender to the swing arm and then have fender struts for the back. In order to make it a bit less bobberish I'm going to make a luggage rack coming off the seat mount that will hover over the rear fender and then I can use a pillion pad as a passenger's seat directly on the luggage rack.

Any thoughts or recommendations are always welcome  

I'm being picky....but to me the back looks too small for the front.  The front of the bike is just too tall for what is going on in the back.

An 18" rear wheel would improve the looks a bunch.  

Something like this....where the top of the front and rear fenders are at the same elevation and the wheels are about the same size.

Toes,
To borrow a line from Billy Crystal, the mock up "Looks Marvelous"!

Have you worked out the placement of brake light and license plate yet? With the planned luggage rack you should have some room to mount it on the back of the rack.

Nice to see a non-cafe, non-bobber project.

Good hunting

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys  

I'm planning on doing the luggage rack similar to the current Royal Enfield C5 frame supported rack, this will tie it directly into the frame at four points and make it strong enough for a passenger pillion seat too.


As for the rear fender even though it is a full fender and metal it is extremely light, it is a thin shaped sheet metal which won't be too heavy even with the struts and frame rails. So it will have a sub frame just on the exterior, again similar to the RE Bullets. And I think removing around 4" off the front will bring the rear tip into a much more aesthetically pleasing spot.

As for the lights tail light on the rear of the fender which I already have a cool light weight one, and possibly eliminate the turn signals entirely or possibly mount the rear signals tied in to the luggage rack or top shock mounts. I'll see once I have it sorted out and see which way will work best with not being in the passenger's way.
