build a fixture for the aluminium bar

The screws are just for the vintage look ;-)

now bending the aluminium bars matching your size of the fender.
Use two screws so you don't get any marks on the bars

I just painted it brown, with 3 layers of colour.

After drying i mounted it with one screw under the saddle and on both sides with some self made plastic mini pipe clips
