Looks great. got any pics of how you mounted your rear fender? Does it move around without braces on the rear of the fender?
I like the bag on the swingarm. I had to take mine off as it was to low for the corners. But, I figured that when I put it on.

Re:Bobber project winter 2017 before and after 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hi Cike,

rear fender doesn't move and doesn't rub, it wigles a little at idle but its not an issue.
I'll tell you that I looked at all your pics of your project it actually helped me a lot to decide what to do with mine so thx for all the pics of your build it was great to see how you did things....

You are going to be surprised at how I hooked up my rear fender, I purchase the bracket that holds the front light because it look to me like that might make a good bracket for the top of the fender, cost $14 at Yamaha dealer in Canada so probably $8 for you in the USA, I carfully bent it in a big vise until it was a good fit to hook up the fender, the Wit is perfect to bolt on the exiting brackets or tabs on the swing arm and it bolted on nicely on the fender making a nice clean bracket, at the bottom I just made 2 angle brackets that bolt on the exiting tabs on the swing arm, so the 4 screws hold my fender and its real tight, you can't sit on that fender but its plenty strong.

The Bag and the seat are from La Rosa Design

See picture:

Hi the Seat is a La Rosa Design classic seat, 16 inch by 12inch wide

with stainless mounting kit and 2 inch springs, without the mounting kit 3 ich springs would work but with the 1 inch mounting kit 2 inch springs is better.

The chrome bar under the seat is a road star sissy bar adapter that you use when you remove the sissy bar on the roadie, its from chrome world I think, I got it from a friend and cut it to fit under the seat

mounting kit; http://larosadesign.us/1-solo-seat-spring-mounting-kit-stainless-steel/

For the seat I just drilled a hole in the frame and put a stainless bolt to hold the bracket that came with the seat from La Rosa design, I just placed it to be close to the tank, i have no specific pictures of that, I'll take one and post....

I think PB was suggested to you before they began holding pic links hostage for ransom.

Try flickr or tinypic, but there are others.
