I already have one. But who knows... I might need to modify the one I have.
You make seats? I have a Hollywood Solo that should fit like a glove with the fender you see in pictures.
Yes, there is a little gap, but that is something common to all Corbin seats. It is not bigger then the gap you see on a normal Warrior fender. I will post pictures and you let me know what you think.
More updates, please see the first post for new pictures.
The rear fender is done and installed. In the rear, the LED's are not yet installed becauseI plan to paint it firstthen glue the strips in the back. So technically The panted parts will be the tins,fairing scoop, side panels andDyna coils. They will also have electric blue flames, like the rest of tins.
I need your optinion, related to the seat... With the rack, there is a definite space. It is normal, we deal with a 280 fenderand the seat was designed for a 200 one. However, if I install the pilion seat, it covers pretty much the small hole you see now. On the other hand, I will never ride with a pasenger but I kept both options in case the bike is sold and I start few years later on a new warriorproject. So let me know.
Another detail: You might wonder why the fender does not follow the wheel contour, from the side. Because when you up the Tricky air ride, it will look weird. With the ride up, it looks like it belongs there.

It is simple, just ask anything and I will tell you why it was done this way. All of you guys are like family to me and many of you got me out of trouble when I had an issue with my machine. I rather you guys post your comments (good or bad), so we all share this experience. I learned a lot from the warriors here, so there is no shame to learn even more.
It is official, the current fender will go. On top, a custom seat will be built from scratch also. Back to drawing table, grrr.
About the Barnett SR-2 and the red springs... Is been a week I drive my bike. I would not go to regular springs ever, after the thrilling experience I got with the new springs. The power you get at the wheel is insane, compared to previous clutch. No problems with the springs tension, for an office guy like myself. The only issue is that I have to hang to those Carlini bars like crazy, since the new clutch...
There is one good thing... because the new clutch, I realized I don't always bleep the throttle properly when I shift down. Boy the bike jumps like crazy now, when I release to quickly the clutch and don't dose right the bleep.
It will be rounded, and will hug the tire perfectly. The current one is square and way to wide for the look I need.
I decided to go to a professional shop who will built the fender and seat from scratch. Montreal Choppers got the job. If everything is OK, the fender and seat should be fabricated in 3 weeks. Back to the waiting table, I really hate that.
piston, I'm located in Montreal, Petite-Patrie near downtown. You will be able to see me at gatherings done by m4e.com or clubmotoquebec.com sites.

EDITED:
I'm happy to hear that the new Barnettclutch plateassy w/red springsmeets and exceeds your expectations
Hmm .... I have the Barnett SR-2 installed with the std gold springs and it performs exactly the same as your reds
and it's based on a lot more miles under my belt than your weekend ride.
Comparing the stockold Warriorweak diaphragm spring against the Barnett red set-up is an apple & pear comparison and not an accurate analogy as you’ve never experienced the gold spring operation. IMHO you are blowing smoke

You are probably right, Alan. Still, I don't find the red springs hard on left arm. Honestly, I was sure it would be A LOT tougher from what you explained... but it is not. And that acceleration is superb, the bike is screaming of healthy power through all pipes. I rode it in the city, through the main boulevard with regular stop lights. There is a DEFINITE pressure increase on the clutch handle but nothing that cannot be handled in the long run. I bet that if I run your bike, I would have very close feelings (less the muscled grip), as you said.
The only part I find it really different is when I switch it in second gear. Boy, the beast can pull now REALLY hard. To save the tire, I accelerate moderately onto first then I push it on second harder. I have to grip the bars really hard in order to handle the animal. I'm telling you, my neck muscles are a lot more sore then my left arm.
