Hey Chuck, Have you done any of this work on scooters?

I have a 7" Wide Rear Bobbed Fender, I have 8" between the frame extension on my sporty. I have metal to weld into fender.

Plan equals this: cut new metal into 1" strips (6X12 to start with), shape strips to appropriate part of replacement fender, split the replacement fender down the middle, tact weld formed 1" strips back into fender halves, slowly weld up the seam to prevent warping, smooth welds and clean surface, tin surface and lead the repair, finish and prep the lead repair for sealer/primer. All welding will be done with a MIG unit.

Working on a 02 Ultra and the fork has drain plugs but no schraeder valve to release the pressure. Am I missing something, on my 03 the front end is gas charged and has no drain plugs. On my 00 both valves were in back behind the saddle bag. Any insight would help.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my bike out to Colorado. Someone recommended a trailer for the car. He seemed to think it would cost as much as it would cost me to ship the bike and then I'd have the trailer in case I break down. I hate the thought of even owning a trailer, but it would solve that problem.
