When installing my Kewl Metal chrome fork protectors (which resemble your's, by the way), I quickly learned that it's easiest just to take the front fender off. Until realizing this - I, too, recall using some pretty creative language. Terry
Mine are Kewl Metal, too. I just happened to purchase them through Valkyrie Bling and More at InZane X this past summer.
I thought about taking off the fender, but figured I'd still have the opportunity to swear just as much trying to get the nuts put back on the underside of the brake line holders. Also would have given me even more opportunity to further scratch up or otherwise wreck the paint on the fender.
