    I want this front fender...
    I've seen this on more than a couple of the bikes in this thread. Any one know where / what it's from..?

    Front and rear look like classic alloy fenders (mudguards to us over the pond!) with appropriate mounting brackets, must be some classic parts suppliers over there... often seen on old brit singles and twins to stop oil getting on the tyres.......:rofl

    As mounted, it's potentially lethal.

    It really needs to have stays from the lower end to the fork to stabilise it. Otherwise there's a risk it will vibrate enough for the leading edge to contact the tyre, followed by the stoppie to end all stoppies.


    (Something I learned in my fashion conscious youth) :)

    Edit: forgot to say it's a really neat bike, and looks like a real cafe racer.

    Awesome pic, but she looks entirely too happy holding that pistol. :brow Reminds me of what Chris Titus said in one of his stand-up specials. "Here's a hint, guys. If you're gonna beat her, don't teach her how to fire the weapon." :lol3

    WAY too comfortable although I'm more concerned about her being a lefty with a short attention span than I am about her intentionally shooting me :D
