STANDARD,
you asked about the fender mounting???
two bungs welded to the frame, through the underside of the fender, and then of course, two bolts at the struts. Solid as a rock.
***not welded by me*** but, it works and we were in a huge time crunch...refer to the other post about settling with ugly welds in order to ride...

So Frisco, recently got engaged(poor guy)...
and he was kind of hinting at having the bride to be put her heels somewhere other than on the exhaust pipe and clutch basket...
so, I fashioned up a fairly quick-on quick-off set of mounts...spent way too much time bending roundstock trying to figure out the best way to keep her fancy boots from melting...and allow him to kick the bike over. I had some aluminum stock laying around, and whipped up a set of shiny pegs...seeing that his lady likes shiny objects, she'll hopefully approve.
Not the planet's most amazing creation I've conjured up...and I sure as hell ain't no Kim Boyle...but, these are simple and work.
next, due to provincial red tape bullshit, Frisco's got to have a front fender as well...not much to look at, and I don't much care for a front fender...BUT, this way, it gives the appearance that we're not going to just rip it off right after...
obviously, my skills are not that of some others here, and my photo skills are that much worse...
finally got some electrical supplies, and should hopefully get around to wiring this weekend...??!?!?!?!

thanks guys...the paint is pretty out there for sure. some like it, some don't...I'm always curious as to why people don't like it though...
its not my bike, but I'll gladly ask the fellow I'm building it for to see what his plans are with them this winter...Comment

About the Paint.
I really like the fact that the paint job on the bike gives certain people a headache,
Its that creativity that caught my eye the first time i saw that bike at the Red deer Swap.
Stuck out of a room with 1/2 the room full of factory pre-tied bandana's with OCC taped to there T's diggin through trash to find louder pipes, tougher stickers, bigger bags, cup holders, chatter boxes, oh yea cant forget the tassels.
That bike was ahead of this present time when you first built it back then.
Your finding paint like that on the covers of the latest Builder Rags.
