Default Tube fenders




I finally got tube fenders!!!! Ken, from River Raider fabricated these fenders and let me tell you they are very well made! The pictures above are not the finished product but a dry fit of the fenders, they follow JK lines and they are solid. I sat on the front fenders, all 185lbs! It's being gatorhyde finished and I hope to get them by next sat.

The fenders are mounted using the existing holes that are inlarged. I actually sat on the front fenders and I’m about 185lbs. i couldn't sit on the rear since my butt is too big. :-)
