Mark's bike-rear fender struts

Once I had the rear fender positioned where I wanted it, I marked it with a Sharpie then removed the wheel. I drilled a small hole through the fender and into the swing arm.

Then I ran a tap through the hole and used small bolts to hold the fender in place

I put the rear wheel back on then started attaching the DIY fender strut kit from Lowbrow Customs. I started by bolting the upper bungs to the fender

Then I tack welded the bottom threaded bung onto the swing arm

Then I cut the strut to the right length and welded it in place. I considered different ways of mounting the rear fender and some may have looked better but I think would not have been structurally sound enough for riding the streets of Winnipeg.
