Looks nice, I always liked the look of the older fuller fender, started looking for one last winter but got side tracked. I may have to pick one up this winter. I'm going to get my side covers painted, so maybe I'll grab a new/old fender and send it along with the covers.

Can you post a pick of the whole bike so we can see how it looks altogether?

I like that fender; it looks like the one now offered by Moco listed for an '84-'03

I would think it would fit a rubbermount...

I like that a lot. My fender has never been straight, the rear is warped about a 1/4 of in inch. Didn't notice it when I bought the bike and it is not obvious unless you are looking for it. I bought my bike new and the first time I washed I noticed the right side back rear of the fender sticks out and the left side is obviously closer to the tire. Like I said unless you really look you can't tell, but I wanted to lower the fender because I think the stock height is too far off the tire. Obviously that mod is out of the question. At the first service (that I got for free for buying the bike new) I told the dealer and pretty much was told that I would have to live with it.
