Fender work

Never got above the teens outside yesterday so I decided to tear into the FC's rear fender.  Most likely the cause of my front cylinder melt down.



This fender started life as a stock HD fender that came with the pile of parts when I got the FC.  It had been modded before and I modded it again making it a bastard-bastard fender.  I didn't want to dump cash into a new fender so I made it work.  It is a complete hack job but it did its duty.
 

Here is a lesson as to why you need to properly space the tire from the fender.


The PBR-fueled ride that killed the motor also managed to do this to the fender.  Yes, that is heat discoloration from the tire and busted bondo. 


Oliver came out for a little shop help last night.
