do some fish plate with your logo cut out of the middle...would look sexy!!

Tre5 and MMW does it a lot with thers and they look great with a nice dimension to them

It just strengenthens each joint where there is more then just the one welded seam holding each joint together

looks cool but why not make the notch a little wider just in case you need to move the axle forward or back. Just seems a little narrow. Other than that it looks top notch as always

i am putting the fish plates on the inside of the rails so they wont be seen.

Trying to keep it as small as possible saving the extra room for the back seat !

I figured that but as you no the rear ends in these travel forward and back when we let the air out. Also my concern is if you are not dead nuts perfect in the center of the fender you wont be able to move it forward or back. But I get why you made them small. Looks great

I have to assume you got a sponsor for that rascal. I looked into those and the setup costs more than most people pay for their motors.

Nice though.
