I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A WASTED TO TRY TO ORDER ONE WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING IT FIRST. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THESE TRAILOR FENDERS IN THE "TRACTOR SUPPLY" STORES AS WELL.

7.5" FLAT REAR FENDER Steel 14ga

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-5-FLAT-REAR-FENDER-Steel-14ga-Chopper-Bobber...

Only $29.85

42" Circumference
29" Tip-to-Tip
12-1/2" High standing on floor
14.51" RADIUS

Not sure, but I believe the stock rear tire on the savage is hovering around 11.5" radius. If you maintain the same radius point with the fender, you would end up with a couple inches of clearance between the tire and the fender. Might look a little "mismatched".

You could always offset the radius and bring the fender down to an inch over the tire. If you're doing this on a stock LS650, most of the fender will be hidden by the suspension components anyway...

It turned out pretty nice and I've liked it a lot.
