Thanks Guys!!

JP...It has an oil tank. (see page 11 and 12) Premix is a pain on the street.
Oxford, that front fender was a pain in the butt.
I tried 20 different variations, using everything I could think of, including all the advice given by you guys when I was messing around with it. The only two options in the end were no fender at all, or this shorty. I even made another identical (with braces) slightly longer, but it just didn't "flow" and stood out like a sore thumb.
That said, with the introduction of the carbon fiber silencers, I think a CF one with the same weave would be cool.... But then I'd have to do something with the rear stainless fender..... and I really like how that turned out.
