Only regret is that I forgot to have @
gugie add fork fender eyelets. I had to buy these ugly extensions from VO that extend from the axle so the fender stays would have a place to mount. Would like to find a R20 fork (with thimbles) that I could have eyelets brazed/welded on then have that fork powder coated. I'd make sure to remove the thimbles BEFORE powdercoat.
Thanks for adding the "full monty" shot! But, shoot! Wish I woulda tought of fenders!
Looks great, I can imagine you getting lots of compliments on the trail!
