I did body work for a few years and I know what a trick that was. How the angles of each cut were decided, any details you care to share.. It's really a fine piece of work.

I want my rear fender done just like you have yours.

rear fender was the most difficult part of the work. when I started thinking of my bobber, tons of pics in the internet were inspected. Many of them were found on this site. That's why I decided to register here
I wanted cute fender, strong enough to carry a passenger, if necessary.
After all I've found this bike
http://bikepost.ru/blog/bobber/37900/Bobber-Hidemo-SP-44-na-baze-H-D-Sportste...sorry the article is in russian, but its nothing interesting there, just watch the pics.
So, this bike became my prototype in color, seat shape etc
As decided to fit a bigger tire 150/90/15 ,I had to reweld a swing arm bridge a little
After fitting the tire I started working on fender. The main problem was that because of the fat tire there are very small gaps between sides of the fender and the wheel. And any even small skewness is easily seen
I cut the fender with angle grinder right on the bike. Everything looked perfect, but after welding the fender changed its shape a little, so, gaps right & left side became different :'(
I had to make mounting holes a little oval to move the fender in its place.
Of course, everything was grinded. Many hours of grinding, welding, grinding again...
