look at tz fenders..... ;)



I dig the early TZ fenders :thumbup: ... especially the early aluminum braced ones. (they don't look all that different for a stock early H1 fender)

Here's the closest thing I have that has the built-in braces. Its a Tracy (yeah, that Tracy) fender. If I used it, I'd have to cut about 3" out of the rear and an inch or so out of the front...

yeah..I'm sure that Tracy was originally made with a 19" wheel in mind... although it did come on that H1 dragbike, and it did have an 18" front wheel fitted with a REALLY skinny/low front drag slick. (looked goofy)

I'm going to try one more time with stainless (thanks to Jay :thumbup: ), but will make it longer and closer to the tire...and I might try to add short struts front/back (like TZ and original early H1).
I've got a pefect, easyfit, ready to bolt on Fiberglass fender (the black one in the bottom picture with the white stripes) that was on the KH750 originally, but it just looks "boring". Does nothing for the bike.

thanks for checking Tim. A couple of board members (thanks again Guys) hooked me up, and I've got 3 coming now...which is actually pretty cool as I do have one more H2 stator without a housing (just needs a low speed coil replaced).

Since the Della's are throwing out opinions... :)
I'd go with this fender with the brackets painted black.
I'm really digging a little extra space between it and the tire. Sort of an older look I guess?
Cool bike Cody!
