Front Fender Gap

Winter project 2022-23:  

The gap from the front tire to the edge of the clam shell fender is 5 1/4"   while the rear is set at 3".

The chassis height is perfect so I do not want to change this.   The solution is to remover the fenders, adjust the mounts and then reattach the fenders.

Fingers crossed the headlights have enough adjustment to point in the correct lane.

These highlight the large fender gap.   No on to testing a solution.


Buy 3/16 x 1" fender welt.

Remover fenders, lights and adjust front fender support down 2 1/2".  Re weld support and test fit.


Step 2 was making custom spacers to realign the headlights.  Presto ! Winter project done.   Oil change and it will be ready for spring.
