Volusia TailDragger - A Custom Fender Fab
Among other
things, we're occasionally asked to fabricate individual components of a project. This fender
build is for a customer who wanted to change the rear fender of his Volusia 800 to a TailDragger.
Our supplier had dropped the particular fenders we would normally use for this, so we decided to
section and widen an available part for him. We also made a bar change, new lighting, and a few
other modifications... Click the pic on the left to see how we did these cool mods.
