Default custom fenders and new paint

This was my winter project. I made the front and back fenders out of a car hood from a junk yard and also did the paint. I posted details of this project in the custom finishing thread. I'm glad its done and love the new look.

I like the raer fender and nice home paint job. Where did you get the the taillight. Never seen one of those before. I suspect that you made it yourself since you did the work on the fender.

In Texas here, so a winter project is difficult. I rarely have an excuse not to ride so I have a hard time shutting down my bike for any project. I guess I need to have two bikes.

You made a very good bike look even better.

Congrats.
