My camera batteries died after two shots...I will post closeups later.
This is how I brought it home from the swap meet.

Cool, My is being painted as we speak, I can't wait to install it. Matching the black raven stock paint was a pain though. My shop went back to the paint store 3 times to get it to match.

Re:Fl front fender installed 2 Years ago  
I understand the excitement ..I waited two weeks to get it back from the paint booth. My local Yamamaha dealer gave me a colorite # for paint....The paint matches fine. It is the workmanship that is poor. I am going to experiment with wet sanding and attempt to get rid of the paint runs and fish eyes. The welding and bodywork of the fender itself is great.
Please post progress pics.

Re:Fl front fender installed 2 Years ago  
will do! My paint is flawless! My friend owns a body shop so he hooked me up. $100 for the body and paint work and I bought the paint ($50 for a pint) He said he spent about 4 hours on it.
