Glad your story had such a happy ending, although it seems to have been a
big disruption.
Sometimes I get on my 2006 Rambouillet, after I haven't ridden it for
awhile, and it feels like a new bike day; and after all the work you did I
definitely recommend luxuriating in a new bike
Sounds like you were lucky not to go over the HBs! I have found attaching
fenders with an L clamp onto the brake bolt to be better than the hanging
bolts. More support and less real estate under the fork. Happy trails.

Good thoughts.
