Re: @@ The K-4 @@ Update Monday 12/12
Here's the thing. When the bolts are in to mount them you won't see the bottom one. I would prefer not to hack up a whole set of fenders if somewhere down the road I need a set for another project. A stereo installer taught me a long time ago that you should minimize what you cut up of the original car because you will end up selling the car, but if you do it right you could keep the stereo for the next car you buy. We shall see how it all looks when I get it mounted.
Thanks for the ideas though!

Looks great Joe! The tires fit fine, huh? :? Seems like they would rub with less room.

Much progress made! Many different things going on. I decided I liked the blue fenders and the others had so much bondo that it wasn't worth trying to save them for anything. Cut the ducktails off and made a "Triple" out back, regular up front, except for I found a slightly curved brace in the pile and added that to the front. Triple steps were literally brought back from the dead. They were "restored" many, many years ago and they represent the last pieces of the bike they came off of to be used in a project. i have the fork, but it is a ladies headtube length and will probably never use it. Going to swith out the 3/8' cog ofr a 1/2 ND 22 tooth out back and run a standard chain. I tried all the necks I have and none looked right, so I am in search of something for it. I have two sets of bars and will decide after I find the neck.
Thanks, Joe
Thanks, Joe

I love the triple duck tail!
I've never seen that front end before. There were so many different springer ideas early on.
