Florida,
My use of the word "safest" above was related to your question of the flexibility to be able to run fenders later without having to make modifications, not to infer the safety of the system or to reopen the age old "discussion" on which is better, hairpins or four bar.

As for opinions, like belly buttons everyone has one, and people tend to look at their own as being best, which is perfectly OK. For me, the Grand Canyon is vast, and I don't see how a four bar can give more ground clearance than a hairpin. A picture is worth a thousand words, and Deuce has given you pictures of the fender line against a TCI four bar which answers your question about being able to run fenders later, whatever you choose to hook to your frame.

Now to the real question. Why would you want to run fenders on a hot rod???
