Great looking bike! Great taste @GTMartin
Hey @AdamB bike looks nice, I think that's one of my favorite paint schemes, I love the way the gold bands accentuate the forks. Got anything else in mind next?
Nice Ride ! Quick question. Who makes that rear fender ? Is it wunderlich ? Do you have any info on it .. maybe it’s just the camera angle or me but it looks like it covers just a bit more of the tire than the others I've looked at. They all seem a bit short of practical for the sake of sport … I appreciate your time Sir …………Blitz
Thank you! Yes - next up is a Wilbers rear shock. Just paid the import charges this morning so hopefully not too long to wait. After that, I’m not sure. I guess the priority will be playing with the shock adjustments, weather permitting.
It is the Wunderlich Wunderbob, it is the version for the Classic / Roadster which is close to the tyre. Link below is to the .De website. The part number might be useful when checking with your local distributor.

The summer just passed was really good for biking. I took every opportunity to get out onto the Yorkshire moors, dales and over to the coast. Nothing off road, but plenty of roads with not much traffic on them. Longer distance touring is planned for this coming summer.
Did you fabricate the full fender because that is exactly what I’m looking for … I need someone who can handle an English-Wheel, I had to sell mine … your fender looks pretty good, why did you go with the bobbed one ?It is the Wunderlich Wunderbob, it is the version for the Classic / Roadster which is close to the tyre.

"WunderBob" rear fender black
Our eleventh R nineT concept bike, the WunderBob, was presented to the public in 2018 and has done so well that we've decided to offer the individual components to our customers too. The rear fender on the WunderBob made of aluminium is mounted securely on the carefully bent and hand-welded...
I have used the Wunderlich mounting brackets for my fabricated hugger.

Yeah I can see it for the bike style … I’m trying to get closer to a bobber but I want to keep the road tires and not go with 16” fatties. $$$$ rims, tires way to much. That full wrap fender is just the ticket for the look I want but with out the major wheel/tire change … I love the way Blitz handles in nice long fast tight steady turns … I don’t want that touched … so I’ll change the look all over the place until it’s starts to effect the handling … I need to look for a “Wanted” billboard here in Dallas and find a shop.. I know of several in Austin .. maybe I’ll start there … uninstalled I’m guessing $600 to $900 USD for the best quality steel full wrap. If it’s a full wrap … it’s going to have to have one more brace than the Wunderlich version that holds up the tail end because if the vibration ever brings the fender in contact with the wheel at speed there could be a big problem. I could fab that up in an evening …. OH well, I’m on the hunt again.
The benefit, as I understand it, is significantly improved airflow in to the combustion chamber. What I don’t understand is (i) how the engine knows to adjust the fuel flow to match it, and (ii) whether the increased airflow comes at a cost, for example perhaps engine wear through less efficient filtering out of dust/dirt?
