You can adapt another style fenders to it. When I moved out here from LA in 76, it was raining. I had a windshield like I have now and I told my chick (the mother of my children) I was going to my desert house and won't be back. No one believed that I had this place. I strapped as much to the bike as I could, told the neighbors they could have the rest and as I fired up the bike she got on with a small beg of clothes. 130 miles of rain. I was fine and I could hear her wimpering all the way there. What I didn't know was the rooster tail was coming up and all over her back. When we got here I fired up the old wood burning stove and plopped her in front of it. Chilled to the bone. I felt sorry for her but as I look back on it and all the SHT she had done to me and my kids, I get a smile. She still complains about the ride to this day and what a SOB I am. :woohoo:
No one had lived in this house for years. I'd come out for a week end a couple times a year. It was spooky and the wind would make noises, things would go bump in the night, a shadow would go past the small window in the front room, it was awesome. She hated it. :evil:
Good memories. :whistle:

As it sits today ... yeah it's been a very slow build. Sold my Camaro and bought a Turbo Silverado and it's taken up most of my time/energy.
Not much was done except putting out all the wiring and making a new box to conceal everything under the seat ... and padding the seat; still need a cover.

Well I just got tags this week and the maiden voyage is this week with some buddies.

I really didn't get to work on it much. Even the seat cover is something I threw together at the kitchen table with a needle and thread haha. Had a setback with the license plate lights so had to order another assembly. Haven't really gotten to making her look any nicer either, just rusty ratrod look for now!
