Wanted - 75 Front Fender with stays

[TimG]

Looking for a replacement front fender for my 75. Please contact me if you have one for sale.

I don't know what year this is from , been hanging on the garage wall for some time.
Decent shape, a few minor scratches, typical 40 year old chrome ( no chrome checking) , not twisted, minor surface rust on stays around bolt holes which will clean up.
If it's what you are looking for shoot me an offer.

Thats off a 72 or 73. 72's Braces are longer than the 73 so they arn't interchangeable but the 72 definatly wont bolt onto a 73-76. 73 guard and stays may fit a 74-76 and vise versa, but the stays will not interchange between the 73 Guard and 74.

Well, thats a bummer , all packed up and ready to ship .
Thanks Skull , you just saved both of us some hassle.
Anyone need a decent fender for a 72?

Sorry D. Looks like the the welded-on spacers are the 72 vs 73 identifier. Thanks Skull that was some really great info.
