I really like the rear fender treatment, I'm assuming you drilled holes and installed grommets?

Great idea and a cool bike, Rg

Thanks!

Actually its the fender from the donor bike that i have shortend and re-rolled it to flatten it out and get the right bend to it, the grommets/rivets are like that from stock, i really like the look of it as well, glad i could use it!

It looks great, and gave me some ideas!

Thanks, Rg
 
I reckon the first small set of bars you had on it were the best.

I absolutely love this bike though! It's such a smooth build!

I had some time in the lathe and made up a pair of brass grips, finishíng the second one this coming week.

Finally got time to finish off the second handle, i think it turned out really good, maybe i will cut the bars off by 1cm or so.
