Mounting A Custom Rear Fender

Then I kept it hot and placed the bend in the vice-along with a little more heat-to give it a small bend back at the top when placed on the bike.

I placed the sissy bar on the frame, took a few measurements, then cut the extra steel off the ends to ensure that the bar was even.

o mount the sissy bar to the frame I took one of the threaded bungs and cut it in half so that one piece would get welded to the frame as the other was welded to the sissy bar. This would allow the bar to be removed if necessary.

Then a little spot-weld to hold it in place till all the pieces are in place.

Next, I took two threaded bungs and welded them to the sissy bar at the right spots for the fender. This will help strengthen the fender mounts.

After all the spot-welds were done I bolted the sissy bar to the fender to make sure that all the bolts lined up, and despite the bad luck I'd had so far, they did.

Now all I need to do is get this over to my uncle's house to get all the finishing welds done with his TIG welder. I can get things to stick with the MIG, but I'm far from a welder.
