An outstanding build!  Even if that great looking seat would kill my fat old a$$ in less than half an hour.......

[27 Cycles]

The seat will get one more thin, soft layer of foam then a cover.  But..  I figure I'm good for an hour.   ;D ;D

If you have been racing bicycles or mountain/downhill bikes (which I think you may have), then your posterior should be more than able to cope 

[27 Cycles]

Front fender is mounted and finished.  When I get and install the ignition, the bike will be able to ride/test.

looks great. is it just one bolt on each side? 

[27 Cycles]

Yes, I was a little worried too and was going to make a second bolt somehow/where..  the fender is actually quite thick and so are the mounts.  It's strong as hell and I don't see an issue.  It's actually a Harley fender and no matter how thick you think it is...  it's thicker..😁. You would hate it😀

[Dvsrd]

A steel front fender? From H-D? That must be the latest in "wheelie control"  8)

[27 Cycles]

My plan is to ride the bike for quite a while before paint, if any problems should arise and I'm sure they will, I will be able to fix/change!  If there was another mounting area for the fender I would certainly use it, there just isn't anywhere for another tab without tapping into the fork bottoms and I just really don't want to do that unless totally necessary, so for now I feel comfortable with how it is.

A year or two ago landspeed racing, a guy put a front fender on his bike (a harley) and secured it but only in a couple spots, as you speed up the tires "grow" they get taller from the centrifugal force, the tire caught the fender, pulled it around under the tire, the tire became a skate and it threw him down at speed. If your racing at least  take a little extra time to design your mounting points. food for thought.. Ed

Wow, that's scary! 

[27 Cycles]

Work is basically done.  Needs paint and ignition to run, hopefully both happening this month!   I built a center stand and a few other small detail parts to really finish it up.

Very nice, has a from the future look.

Almost looks like it's out of Mad Max

I like it! Doesn't need paint, looks good raw!
