Well, I have been building and selling fenders for a while now and just never got around to putting a set on my tear. Yesterday, that all changed.

I went from this:

To this:

I took a couple of hours and some 'modifications' of the fenders, but the result is really worth it. There are more pics of how I attached them in my album. The HF frame has a couple of very large bolt heads that I needed to deal with on mine.

Sorry, no pictures of it out in the sunlight yet. Maybe tomorrow if the sun comes out.

More Pictures today:

That looks great Kerry!
Think I would paint the wheel centers black.
Like this...........

would match the fenders pretty nice.

Walter,

Yah, I was thinking of that, too. I also would like to get some of the baby moons that are out there if they will work on my wheels. I would have gotten the center caps like yours, but they don't have them for the 4-bolt pattern. Maybe just paint the wheel black and get chrome lugnuts.

That would look good! Add some open ended chrome center caps too so you could still access the bearing buddies.

They cost me alot more than anyone else that I have sold them too!!! They are actually the first set that I made. I put them aside and just had not gotten around to putting them on until now.

I'm adding a couple more pics from outside today.

Read my signature line!! "..............FREE shipping "

Hardly cost me a thing for that!!! :lol:

As suggested by Walter (surveytech) above, I am thinking of painting part of my wheels. Here is a couple of pics to compare before I do it. What do you guys think??? I may get some chrome lugnuts too, if I end up painting the wheels.

How it looks now:

How it might look painted:
