New Fender

I started the project with a Chica Custom Cycles ribbed fender. It was thinner gage steel than I liked, and it was set up for the old school 16" tires from the panhead days. The OD was wack for my set up. So i ditched it into the garage rafters with the rest of the parts that didn't make the 'cut'. I absolutely will not sacrifice when it comes to fender to rear tire fitment. This is the one area that is most commonly fucked on custom bikes and can throw the whole lines of the bike off.

This fender is from Bare Knuckle Choppers and is spun in 2 halves out of 13 ga steel. This thing will be able to handle railing down the highway at 100+mph over the shitbrickle Michigan roads. The 2 spun halves look big steel frisbees. The 'frisbees' are cut in half and welded up to make the fender you see here. The quality of the spun frisbee dictates the tangent, or non tangent nature of the intersection of the 2 halves. Ideally on this style of fender you would like the cross section to look like 1 continuous radius. The stickers look random on there, that is because it was shipped as is from St Louis to me. Dude, Paul, put these things in a box for customers.
