I remember a thread on bobbing a Bonnie rear fender some time ago . Dont recall where it is /was . Can someone hook me up? This is an up comming project.
Yah, and look for cut fender, elimination etc. I've cut mine back a couple of times. First time with the fender insalled, second time removed since I was painting it too. Very easy job with my rotozip.
Jersey - I'm gonna make a recommendation to you. I was all set to do the same thing and was going to put on the safety glasses and get the Dremel out - until - my old friend UncleCharlie talked me out of it. He suggested that I buy the bobbed fender at MADSS which cost me $148.75 delivered free on FREE Fridays! I immediately thought - that's a waste of $150 buck I can use elsewhere. Long story short - I took his advise and bought it and it is a sweet piece. Comes in Black which was perfect for my Bonne Black, had the Lucas style indent already there for the taillight, had 3 nice holes pre-drilled for wiring, and had 4 nice hangers up inside of the fender for snaking the wiring harness back to the seat. I did the tail light and blinker conversion at the same time so it all went seamlessly. I took the stock fender and tail light assembly off in one piece, bubble wrapped it and shelved it into inventory for the future. Who knows, when I'm 80 years old I hope to still be riding but if I'm not I might just give the bike away to some wide-eyed kid who reminds me of myself when i was his age and he will get the bike with every factory part it came with. That's my 2 cents! http://www.madss.com/eshopprod_cat_2...guard_Kits.htm
Jersey, Before you whack your stock fender, troll eBay for a Thruxton rear mudguard...they pop up quite a bit. They are identical to the bobbed fender sold by Triumph. I got a metal Thrux fender for $40, had it painted black, and, like Hedge, kept the original.
