1952 K-model front fender

Rework a Model 125 fender to fit a K-model. pdf version
The 1952 K-model front fender has a flip on the back, like the rear fender does. I am pretty sure a K-model front fender is not going to come up on ebay any time soon.

But there are plenty of Harley Hummer fenders for sale. Now the Hummer is technically the 1955 125cc bike. But Harley put the fender on the Model 125 in 1953, when they went to a Teleglide front fork.

The Model 125 and Hummer  uses the same fender stamping, but with different struts. So I figure to just drill out the Hummer struts and swap in some real K-model struts.		 1953-Model-125_front-fender-rt

You can see the nice flare on the rear of the fender. My K-model rolling chassis came with a front fender, but it is the 1959 Sportster strut fender.

A top view of the Hummer fender, it seems pretty straight.

Here is the left side of the fender. It looks to be in great shape.
Here is the table as I buy parts for this project.
