@@martinbarnett5061 Hi Martin so the double bridge mudguard is different, I'm trying to understand what you mean, so the bracket that usually goes on the brake screws on that top bridge bit, so does the other end weld on top of the guard or is there a slot that it goes through and welds on to the inside of the guard??! 🙁 I'm really trying to understand lol 😁 I need to do more research as want to get it right cheers 🍻

A little more detail, Find a scrapper bike, cut off the forks (it doesn't even have to be a Chopper), making sure where you cut them would sleeve over the forks on your chopper.

Have a great Sunday cheers 🍻

@ most of my bikes were a bit naff. I had a jealous frenemy who would scratch them when they were new as well! I got into the racer fad with a Raleigh Scorpio but the gears were unreliable. Last bike I had as a kid was a BSA GT 21 speed racer. That was a lovely bike and the gears worked really perfectly. Never got into cycling as an adult, even though I’ve had three mountain bikes since 1996, all of which have just sat in the garage. Just ordered a Cycrusher Kommoda 2.0 ebike, so I’m hoping that will excite me enough to get out for some regular and much needed exercise.

@BigDuke6ixx wow you really need a friend like that don't you! I would of let his tyres down when he wernt looking lol 😁, I had one mate who had a Raleigh Arena and he loved it but everyone else on the estate had Grifters, as soon as I hit 16 I got my provisional licence and went from Grifter to Yamaha fizzy as everyone did in them days then when 17 yamaha rd 250 they were the days such fun and freedom at such a young age great times!
