Extended the mounting tab on the front of the fender using the chunk I cut out of the fender for the chainguard clearance.

Shortened the extension bolts so that I could put acorn nuts on.

FOOLIGAN is a rider again, but with skirts and a fender.

I like how the skirts turned out. It was a detour worth taking.

Crazy how well those skirts disappear in the front views versus how prominent they are in the rear views

Fascinating

Don't you know the view is always better when you are looking up the skirts??? :D :D :D
 
Finally got a dookie Pic for @ingola

Enough left over for a demi-fender up front?

Yes, but not much clearance at all on the fork. Still a possibility, but not likely.

Absolutely!

Yeah, I don't regret doing these skirts at all. They look sharp.

I like how the skirt guard flows right into the fender.


The vanes go well with the seat springs.

Yes, I am very pleased with how the skirts, fender, and guard meshed together.

Didn't notice how the saddle springs play along with the skirt vanes until you pointed it out.

Tread on the tire goes so well with that bike love it

Yeah, I really really like these tires. Not only do they look cool, they provide so much suspension to the ride. And even though you hear them rolling on the road (moon discs act as an amplifier), they don't drag down the ride. They have a relatively low rolling resistance for their size.

Those skirts are perfect. I love the way they look like a venting grill that shows the wheel covers through them. Very hot rod. Nice!

As for old skirts

Yes, sexy vents.

One thing that I forgot that I liked about Mooneyes is the big shadow they cast in a spot you expect there to be light. Total eclipse of the wheel.

Sexy and ratty at the same time.
