Michael -
Thanks for the photos. I hadn't known you were cantilevered. Great
bike BTW. What has Hiroshi had to say about the fenders? I have to
be careful not to bring my credit cards with me when I go to his
shop. Very nice frames.

One tricky thing with installing metal fenders is getting them where
you want them without putting stress on the fe
I had a front Honjo bust where it bolts in under the fender. This
happened off road. I understand some people use an L bracket to avoid
