Very Nice! Where there any problems with removing the front fender in regards to the brake line needing a bracket or is it just loose?

Never-mind, I just answered my own question by taking the fender off and trying it out. It works just fine without any further bracketry (f.y.i., bracketry is a technical term  ) or line supports.

Love the pics & the bikes look awesome and mean - I especially like the choped back end of the SM that shows off the tyre & chain - great job
Just put a chopped rear fender on mine but wonder if I should have gone further now when I see your bikes

I know the stock ones are chrome wrapped, but the ones on the America in this thread are single walled...I was curious if they are from a bonnie, or what aftermarket?

it's uber pretty, but without a front brake....that'd be a hard sell for me. i can do without high-sides, lol

I noticed (and commented) they posted a picture of Tommy's 50-style hotrod Speedy with right-side jockey shift today. Oh HEY, I see that was you. LOL http://bloodfalcons.blogspot.com/2009/10/friday-randoms_16.htmlI've had the Blood Falcons' site in Google Reader for a while now.
