Has anyone made their own fenders? I love the look of the poison spyder ones but I really want to make my own. Let's see them!

I built mine using 1-1/4" .120 wall dom. They were a pain in the ass, but I am very happy with them.

Set aside plenty of time. They are very time consuming. I fully welded the 14gauge skins to the tubing and ground it smooth. This took several passes to get it all perfect. Also, the front of mine was a compound bend that took a bit of time with torches and metal hammers to work the metal just right. I am very happy with them, as there isn't any on the market that fit my needs for a stretch. Thanks.
