A friend dropped off his Excelsior Henderson in November for storage and asked if I could make a custom fender rack and backrest for his bike. He had a nice pad for his backrest already, and we exchanged some ideas. A few weeks ago, we worked on the fender rack together, and his help was needed, to run it through my roll bender. After drafting the back rest last night, I cut all the pieces and finished it all today. Here are the pictures!
