The reason why? the standard answer , why not , or Because . The real answer was to see if I could and I did. The why's of it . The challenge was there , I have made fenders from, steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, Now titanium. maybe German silver next.  The tech of it titanium is 60 percent the weight of steel  and almost 30 percent stronger .  It was some awful mean material to work , When buffing it there was an occasional spark . I just wanted to try titanium out.

Ken, he needs a pair for his street roadster, to counteract the lead he added for traction.

Ken,Stan is a roadster guy I'm sure if you can make a pair from bone,flint or amber he'd be on them like a monkey on a biscuit.
