HAHAHAHA! Yeah, I don't think my wallet likes that brand anymore.

that explains the style, I know that dude from Lowbrow is pretty into Triumphs. He's got two Amal carbs on that Panhead, pretty sweet.

Interesting. It doesn't look 7" wide. What size tire you got on there?

I agree, it doesn't look that wide. That's a stock size 150 tire on there. I'd say this fender fits about perfect. I was thinking of doing some narrower tires and running a narrower fender, but I like these tires and didn't want to spend that much more so I'm stoked this fender looks good.

yeah good bunch there Brain. They call me anytime something is out of stock and when they expect restock. Good customer service.

So it measures 7" across from edge to edge then? Interesting.
Looks great......but I still think a little rake on the sissybar is appropriate, and like Back Again said, you may be cursing that choice every time you swing your leg into the saddle. But then, I'm probably older, and less nimble than you.

Ha, well, I might need to do some stretching then! I just welded some mounting bungs to the sissy to bolt it to the fender. I went slightly back, but not too far for me. Sort of a meet-you-in-the-middle deal?

And yep, measures 7", edge to edge. Really nice fender I think. I might cut it off where it meets the bottom of the frame to clean it up. Thoughts on that?

Fender is going to look great, and I like the sissy bar straight up like that. I'd definitely cut the fender off even with the bottom of the frame though, looks "wrong" going past it like that.
