Cracked

 Just when I thought I had the sportster locked down and cured of its parts shedding habit, I notice this:

 What you're looking at is a crack running across the fender. Its only 1/4" away from going all the way across. I noticed it right before I was heading out for a ride. If it would have broke off I'm sure the tire would have kicked it under the remaining fender and made a huge mess of things.
 As it turns out this may be a blessing in disguise. I never really cared for the look I created back there and I also have been struggling trying to find a good place for my tool pouch.
 I have a few ideas brewing. I'll post pics when its done.
