Fender suggestions

[sou1f1y33]

Does anyone have any fender suggestions to run on a 79 special brat build with the mags and 130 tire? Any input on what width and where to buy would be appreciated. At the moment I am looking at a 6 inch flat fender. Would that be to wide?

6 inch would give about 1/2" clearance each side on a 130/90 tire. The inch equivalent is 5.0-5.10 width for a 130 tire. Flat fenders tend to vibrate considerably if they are not relatively thick, or incorporate an edge bead, especially if the unsupported length exceeds the width by more than about 40%.
Hope this helps.

Ditto, in fact, that's the classic oldschool setup, 5.00 or 5.10 x 16 with 6" flat (trailer) fender...

Yup, that's what I'm running on my bobber.
