WH64 fender repair part 1

Here is how a fender seam isn't supposed to look. IT is all wavy and beaten thin after years of abuse. I had to build up the fender flip section with material and grind everything smooth.


Since the original metal is so thin and smooth, we made a piece of tin to used as a backer for the weld.

In this pic the fender flap has been built up and the tin piece is still on the fender. This gets ground off.

First you grind the inside, then remove the top piece.

Here is a pic of the fender. I blued it and scribed a line where the line is supposed to be. This is a really good fix that my friend Larry Medwig taught me.

Special tool bulletin!!!!!

Check it out guys, this is the tool for holding backup on hollow axle sleeve on a springer. It probably works on hydra glides too, but I have not had a chance to try it out on a rocket ship yet. It was extremely difficult to make this complicated tool, I probably made a big mistake by posting this picture before I registered my idea at the patent office, but that is ok. I hope you guys can find some way to use this idea on your own personal bike.
