Default 9" rear fender, will it fit?
Bought an aftermarket long shot rear fender for my ride. I have a 200mm rear tire, the company says 9" wide is what I need for a fender. Is this correct?

Should work, mock it up and make any adjustments to the sheet metal before you get it painted and practice putting it on and taking it off a few times just like it was painted so you know what to do when you do the final install. Trust me you don't want to get it done and then scratch it because you forgot to check something. Good luck.

So you mean like a 1/4" bushing between the fender and strut?
