After seeing so many fender eliminations of TBSs and T-birds on this board, I really wanted to try something similar with my Adventurer. Because of the different subframe on my bike, I resigned to designing it from scratch. Hopefully this will help other Adventurer owners who might be pondering the same thing.
I started with a photoshop edit of what I was hoping to achieve:
I got a 9" wide unfinished steel fender and cut it down to size and tapered the flair in the back. I then fabricated a support bracket for the original lower fender attachment holes and also fabricated a support system that bolts into the upper fender hole attachement point behind the front seat latch. I didn't care how pretty it was, as it would be hidden by the seat.
To finish, I bent a steel bracket that mounted underneath the fender to attach the rear mini turnsignals as well as a bracket to mount the mini cat eye tailight/license plate:
Here is the finished product. You can find more construction photos in my album. Hope that gives some ideas to other Adventurer owners wanting to change things up.
