Correct fender, similar fit problem. I have an S2 with an 11t. I'll try that next and report back

Here's the 39 DX fender. It is indeed a better fit Side by side comparison, the 41 fenders are deeper, and chainguard indent is much different.

I just don't see it. Removing 2" from the lower mounting tab does nothing but make the fender tab cut off and shorter. I can't move where the seat stays dimples are in the fender. I could cut the entire bottom half of the fender off and the top half would still sit in the dimples and mount to...

I think we agree,you can’t just rotate the position of the fender as the indents and mounting hole dictate the placement of the fender.

Thanks for the observation. I will give rotating it a try. I should point out however, that the '39 donor bikes fenders weren't used in this build as the front was too mangled. I ended up using fenders from a '41 which utilized a different chainguard, that's why the weird gap. It seems when you...

I believe you are correct, as far as the measurement/movement. However, removing one link pair made the chain too short. It bottomed out in the dropouts, or was all the way forward if that makes sense.

Did a little researching on Skiptooth chainring/sprocket diameters and came up with this on a 1" pitch. 9T 3.25" 10T 3.46" 11T 3.78" 12T 4.10" 22T 7.28" 24T 7.92" 26T 8.56" Surely there is a math problem buried in here and chain length is surely a variable. I wish I had all the variable...

It is possible. The Morrow hub is compatible with Bendix sprockets but trying to find an 11T or 12T isn't always easy.

So, here's a dilemma that is really bugging me. I despise the way the wheel is framed by the rear fender. I am open to solution ideas. So far I have tried: 1. Taking a link out - that makes the chain shorter by an inch ... that's too much 2. Shimming the rear fender mounting tab in the chain...

First ride went splendid. No problems to report. Looks real nice paired with the Mrs. Unfortunately not too many photos tonight. I'll leave you with this ... I love how this bike photographs. So much color survived that I never thought possible. A couple OA baths and many hours of steel wool...

Oh man, most entertaining. Like a PBS or BBC TV special ... complete with cool narrator voice-over. Smashing!

Bravo! Looks better than factory new

Thanks ... I just hope I don't end up pushing it ... you know how those first rides can go!

Thanks! Everybody sure likes things their own way ... I guess that's part of what makes it a fun hobby. My buddy Dan who I hang out with on Wednesdays loves racks and lights but nothing more. My buddy Curt likes all the bells and whistles ... I tend to like a more sporty look. I do like the idea...

First photo as a rider. Rode it around the block tonight. Beat a torrential downpour by two minutes. Should be rideable for our vintage cruise tomorrow night (about 5 miles) Things that need fixing. 1. Chain is either too long or too short to center the wheel in the fender. I can't stand the way...

I have not tried that. Noted. 😁

Hydrogen peroxide, salt and vinegar. Seemed to work pretty good. I had to rough up the coating to let it do it's thing

Tires that can take 70 PSI ? ... what are these monsters and what is the size?

Dang ... I'm glad this was pointed out. I will quit dragging my feet :)
