Update to motorcycle maintenance list: Project One will be painting rear fender

It's time to get busy on the list of projects.  I've decided to tackle sanding, re-painting and re-installing the rear fender on my semi-custom Harley Davidson Sportster project one.  That way I can get it back on the road, figure out what is up with the forks, and keep working on the projects on it and the 1986 Kawasaki Concours.

Did some searching tonight and couldn't find a good video quickly on rattle can paint jobs, and I have a couple of ideas that might make for a good first youtube video.  At a minimum I'll snap some photos and post them here.  The first one will be of the tab my neighbor wielded back on to mount the taillight assembly-that piece breaking when I was replacing the tail light base is what started this project.

Lots of maintenance to do to my motorcycles, but you have to start with the first step, right?
