Hey rob... mine is 5 inches wide with a 90/90 but I went a little wide to leave me options open on tire and rims... I think 4.75 is a good size for you.

Go with the heartland one. No spacers needed. Look in my album to check it out. Quality fender to.

runnin the RWD long ocf, 5.5 wide with a 120 metz. made my spacers from the hardware isle @ lowes for $7. they also come "flared" so there is no need for spacers. my photobucket is **** up for a while so check out my gallery for pics.

be careful with the flared fenders though. i had a flared RWD front, and I couldn't get it as low to the tire as I would have liked. the one without flares and pre-drilled holes are more adjustable to your likes. and i think 4.75 was the narrowest fender i could find last year.

Scheers... I got my spacers at a local hardware store "Chrome ones" I think i went with 1" spacers cause my fender is 5" wide and the distance between my lowers were 7" I think I paid like 4 or 5 dollars each also grabed some longer stainless steel hardware "bolts and Nuts"

Best I have for now of the front... old pics







Sorry best I got for now.

I like the Heartland fender but the 300 dollar price tag is not so nice.. I realize it bolts up but ah well.. Love the way story's bike looks with that fender, think i'll find me some spacers and roll with that for now...
