I actually went a completely different way and just forgot to update the post. Matter of fact, I have my sporty up in TN at the Dragon right now. Been here for a couple days riding and this thing carves through the turns like no other!

have you considered making a swingarm mounted fender? The distance between the tire and fender stays the same as the fender moves with the tire and swingarm
