while the forward fender support bolts are out (at work being lathed for turn signals), i pushed the fender down, so the outer support rests on the inner. so it's being supported but not bolted down. this is MUCH cheaper than lowering the legit way. filthy proletariat such as myself can't afford such things as suspension.
so, how stupid is it? i'd imagine it'll hold just fine, even with my <120 lb girlfriend, but i'm interested in the input of brains better equipped than mine. here's a pic:
