So the rear fender off of the parts Ruck was a bit FUBAR'd so I trimmed off the broken parts and then trimmed some more, and ended up with this....   What do you all think? It's just for fun but it does look kinda different, chopper'ish. KP |

Different, but I kinda like it. What did you use to cut it with?

Tin snips, shaped it with a "whizzer" wheel, got the shavings with a pocket knife and finished it off with some 400 grit.

Looks hot, my co-worker did that to his Kawasaki ZX-12. But yours is more deadly looking.

If you heat the fender on the end maybe you can bend it a bit so that that little arrow comes out

 Makes me think of Darth Vader. I don't know why, It is definitely more Dracula but I'm still on Vader. Quite different for sure.  Thanks for the  , You could never explain that in words that all would understand.  Mr. Greg

No....that muffler/exhaust is plenty secure on it's own....that bracket is only to support the fender. The muffler isn't hanging off the fender, the muffler is propping up the fender so with this bracket not in use there'd actually be less strain on the muffler (slightly).

You pretty much have to cut the ducktail off to lighten it up.
