‘89 Sportster: loose rivets on front fender
Before I put paint on my front fender, I had to tighten up the rivets holding it to the bracket. On the same fender for my trike, I drilled out the rivets and plug welded the holes. On my daily driver, I just wanted it to not rattle, so I peened the rivets on the anvil. I put a piece of cardboard underneath to prevent chipping of the paint.
The bracket was starting to rust, so I decided to paint it too. I removed the rust and scuffed the chrome with some 120 grit on the DA.
Next time, wet sanding, marblizing and clear coat.
