Default 07 night train fender spacers??

For x-mas my wife bought me a new front fender called the Long O.C.F by Russ Weirmont Designs. The size of my train front is 21" and the fender is a 4.5 when I went to size it on the tire there is a big gap on each side. I am assuming that I will need a fender spacer???The million dollar question is what size and if anyone has done the same to their night train what style of spacer did they use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks folks.

You'll have to set up the fender and measure what width you need I ended up using some cool deuce spacers w/ a spade cut out in them. The make plain ones in almost any catalog you'll just have to measure.

I had the same fender set-up for my train. I used a Pro One fender spacer that I powdercoated black. Unfortunately, I am not sure if it was 3/4" or 1". (I just sold it to another person on the forum).

Here's one on evil-bay that is similar and little cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Accessories_Motorcycle-Parts-Accessories__Polished-Billet-Aluminum-1-Inch-Thick-Fender-Spacer-Set_W0QQitemZ400014177406QQddnZPartsQ20Q26Q20Acces soriesQQadiZ2863QQddiZ2811QQadnZMotorcycleQ20Parts Q20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles _Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116

Post some pics once you get it on.

You might want to trial fit it using a bunch of flat washers. When you get it where you want it dig out the measuring tape, measure the washer stack and you'll know exactly how big a spacer your going to need.

Thanks for all the ideas fellas. I am going to try the washer spacing before I go buy a spacer set....And by the way Lundee that is one mother of a ride you have. Soul Cal don't think I could ever part with a bike like that...
