Xj650 Rear Fender: Brat Conversion Question

Just wondering for those that ended up going to a rear seat hoop what you ended up doing for the rear fender? There's a lot of holes and a straight cut on the back of the chrome one that comes off the stock bike that looks weird trying to figure out a way to get it back on there somehow (you can see the holes and it just looks out of place). I am pretty sure I will keep the plastic one with some modification or protect the back of the wheel well in some way; however, still want to keep the chrome fender on there somehow. Do you get a completely new rear fender and attach it in or is there a way to use the stock rear fender somehow? Thanks.

 

boat trailer fender work well then you build or buy a fender mount that welds to swing arm add a few struts to hold fender up.
fender moves with tire and swing arm that way

tcbros.com sell mounts and struts

they also sell weld on tabs to mount the fender to frame

 

Nice, thank you!

 

they have photos of them mounted on bikes

 

Apparently Northland Tool sells trailer fenders for less than $15 bucks, so I think I'm in business. Thanks again.

angle bracket welbs to swing arm and bolts to fender . the struts connect to swing arm and fender fender moves with swing arm and tire, where the stock setup fender is attached to frame
