This is the one I got: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/fender-bib-plain-750-ace/part/M-78075

The rectifier isn't under there any more. I stuffed it in my airbox. There is a bump/dip because my mail lady really likes to cram stuff in my community mailbox. It will flatten out soon. Until I come up with a permanent solution, I think I will use some 3M body molding tape for now.

Thought about throwing it out but I'm starting to like it much better now. Fender bib might be in the works now too. That really sets off the rear fender!!!

Keep it between the ribs and nobody will ever see the outlines. Cost effective and holds up pretty well. Looks pretty good on there.

I guess the thing to do is ask, is there a place to mount a wire back there toward the seat? If so, a piece of thin foam to fit the shape of the bib, run the wire thru, hook it on the screw near the seat, bend another hook & mount a concho or soimething in the hole at the rear. A few magnet strips in the foam & it otta stay on & straight even in a big crosswind.

Coathanger isnt the answer, piano wire is, & youll need 2 mounts near the seat, itll swing on one, Or, one front & 1 rear & youre there..

That way the fender won't get scratched. It doesn't seem to move around much as it is, I would just be more comfy knowing there is somehting holding the rear end down.
