What kind of rear fender is that and did you fab the rear support or buy it somewhere ?
And I would have to second the thanks to all the knowledgable members. I cant count how many times theyve helped me fix my bikes...especially when its one of those oddball issues that I would have never thought of.

to make the sissy bar it only cost me about $6.00 for the round stock and the flat stock for the bottom mounts,all the ones i looked at online were like $120.00 for a chrome one
