Fenderless mod questions?

I have 3 bikes I'd like to make fenderless. Two Z1's and a LTD.
I seen the cost of the fenderless kits and when you mulitiply that times 3, it gets expensive.
I was a custom metal fabricator for over 20 years and can make them myself, if I can see one to copy.
Does anyone have any prints or pics?
I'd like to order some material to be sheared and broke for me at a local metal warehouse.
I'm going to use the factory tail light's when I make these.
I already have the fender off of my 74 Z1.

I sure will, but at this time I'd like to keep all the original parts. I might want them in the future.

Hmmm? Is that supposed to be to scale?
I think I need to see some more examples. That template left me with a lot of questions.
Thank you for your help though. I hadn't found that part of the forum before you pointed it out to me.

You sure will want to replace them after you get tired of wiping road slop off the bike and yourself. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (not to mention after you pay a fine for riding with no fender - depending on the state). Ask how I know these things. :laugh: :laugh: Your bike looks great with the fenders on anyhow, so keep them handy. Ed
