Working on it  Wink

It took a few tries to get something to work.  With a few suggestions from another website I ended up making a simple device to guide a chasing tool.  Made me a little nervous to start hammering after putting so much time into the fender.  It came out alright.  Getting it mounted is next.

A bead just looks better, and it's more rigid,

Thanks again for watching.

The block is polypropylene.

Here's the installed fender.

Most excellent.  It really finishes off the back end nicely.  And the curve makes the fake oil can look much more integrated.

Thanks for all the comments and for watching!

Added a dish to the 'oil tank' and got the fender brushed.  Good day for shakedown.  Most of the snow is finally gone, the sun is out and it's already in the mid 50s.

I really NEED to see video of this bike in action. Of all of the builds I've seen (bike, airplane or car) this is among my favorites.

I concur, beautiful work. It takes a lot of dedication to get a job like that finished, even though it is not yet finished.

Can't wait to see the final product. Smiley
