I made them out of 1/4 inch aluminum I used a band saw, belt sander,drill and drill and tap set. I had to drill and tap 13 holes. This part sucks getting them to lineup with all the angles is not easy
The cool part is all you have to do to make the fender bracket is trace it. The fender lines up perfect with the luggage rack. This bracket will have to drill and tap 8 holes in all. Four to hold the fender, two to mount to your inner bracket and two holes to mount to your luggage rack.
The inner Bracket mounts to the luggage rack aluminum housing under the splash guard you will have to drill and tap 5 holes. 3 to mount to aluminum housing and 2 for fender bracket.
You will have to drill 2 holes in your splash guard and 2 in you luggage rack

nice job
-
I like that alot. Would love to get that set up..... when I get mine back that is.

The new fender has a better flow to it. I like it better than the first one as well. Any thoughts of making it body color?
-
I really like the looks of that. Great job!
Now, do you have any concerns about the belt being completely unprotected?
-
I think it is best to throw the belt guards away. What it does is when you throw a stone onto your belt it kinda guides it to your sprocket rather then letting it fly by. It doesn't eliminate the problem but it minimizes it. The open belt is definitely the way to go.
The guards look like Sh -t

I would like to second the above comment. Exposing the rear wheel makes the bike look hot!

Yes the license plate works I don't have the time to make a kit for other people but I will take some pics of the parts I made so you can see how to do it yourself. The hardest part is drilling the holes so that they line up. Making the parts is the easy part.

The fender looks great but I still need better rooster protection. Rain happens when your ryding long distances. Nice work and about the belt guard.
