I have these four fender braces, two of them cleaned up real good, two of them are broken on one end. The eyes on one set have a pretty good off-set, the others are pretty much in line. I need help identifying which are the front braces and which are the rear braces. Thanks

I believe that the one on the left (the pretty one with the offset end at the top) goes at the rear of the front fenders. I think there's a left and a right (I've seen markings on some of mine.) The top end bolts to one of the fender to cowl bolts.

The rear fender braces are straighter, as they bolt to the bottom of the fender and the bottom of the frame, both horizontal surfaces.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Thanks for the info. The catalog pictures of those braces looked the same front and rear.
