Fender rust...how to eliminate (revisited)

[pdedse]

I really need to follow your detailed walkthrough and do this to mine while they are still in very clean condition. You did a nice job and those look great!

To be clear, it was Honda Lover who wrote the detailed description...I just followed his instructions.  And maybe borrowing Suhawk's idea of using POR15 instead of the Rust-Oleum Undercoating is a better idea.  The surface created by 4 coats of the undercoating can be compromised as I found out re-installing the rear fender, some small areas that I had to retouch after getting the fender back on.  

But with you living in dryer Utah, perhaps it will never be an issue.  I don't ride in the rain on purpose, but it's almost inevitable to ride wet streets unless one limits riding to July - September...which I don't.

A request: usually I take a photo of the routing of wires before messing with them, but forgot to do this time.  If anyone has a '17ex, would you mind popping off the seat and taking a photo of the wires as they pass from tail light and rear blinkers to the front?  There are certain clips that they pass through but I can't remember if they all pass through.  After reinstalling everything, my left turn signal blinked intermittenly and when I loosened the wires it when away, but I'd like to know how they were routed originally.  Thanks.
