Title: Name these fenders?
Post by Dave on 08/19/13 at 10:39:04

A friend of my uncle died and we are working on cleaning up his estate. I came across these 4 fenders. The 3 front fenders are all the same and one is beat up, one is good, and one is brand new with remnants of the shipping paper attached. The fenders have a stud on the bottom back for a brace to mount.

The blue rear fender has the same ridge down the center as the front fender and they may be from the same bike - but it has been bobbed and the Sparta tail light does not match the fender profile.

Anybody know what these fit?

That sure looks like what they belong on to me.

I had looked at Triumph photographs - but the fenders were all much smaller without nearly as much skirt on the sides. The blue rear fender has a seam in the side that your photo doesn't show....but that could have been a different year or model.

Is one a Stratocaster and another a Telecaster? ;)

This looks close for the rear... (yours might have been bobbed a little)...

Yep, the blue rear fender has been bobbed at the rear, and cut at one of the side mounts for some reason. That post you listed looks like the right one and I found a site that had vintage brochures. It looks like these fenders were used on one model n 1958, and on the Bonneville, Tiger 110 and Thunderbird in 1959.

Thanks
