With the tire in position you can set up the spacing and measure for the brackets 
you’ll need to make to actually hold the fender in place. There are a lot of ways to 
mount the fender, but again, I had to keep in mind the equipment available to the 
person who might tackle this project at home. 

To build this or any bike, you will need some scrap steel. I don’t care whose frame it is, there will be
something you have to do to make it work for your application. If you don’t have the necessary material,
make a trip to the local steel yard or machine shop and purchase some cheap “rem” stock. A “rem”
(remnant) is a left over scrap from something or someone else.

Get a piece of 1/4" x 1” and some 3/16” x 1” flat stock about a foot or so long each. You will have other
pieces to make, such as the foot peg, license plate and voltage regulator brackets and it’s always good
to have a little left over just in case you make a mistake. You will also need some flat 1/8” sheet stock and
some 1-1/2” aluminum angle stock.

Most frames do not come with any mounting tabs since they have no clue as to what 
you may want or need. Therefore, you will need to make several tabs to fit your needs. 
These rear foot peg tabs are just a sample.

In this case we cut off a piece about 6” long.

Round the edges a little.

This is where you get to vent your frustrations. Open the jaws 
of the vise, set the piece between the jaws, and with a big 
hammer, hit the piece several times. You don’t need heat for 
this, and in fact, it’s easier cold so you can check the curve as 
you progress. Smack it until the curve created fits the fender 
curve.
