1949 B6..truss rod fender vs springer fender difference

[49autocycledeluxe]

I have a 49 B6 I am putting together. I am considering ditching the springer for the truss rod fork, are the fenders different? if so where? my front fender is bare metal, so I can modify it if I have to. pictures would be great.

here it is before I got the train light fender

The indentations for the fork on a springer are rounded and blade fork are flat.

Hole for mounting in different spot... you will need to remove the springer tombstone reinforcement tab too... id say sell the springer fender and find a truss fender... they ain't rare

1949 models do not use the Ashtabula style fork. They have a tubular fork, so, the indentations are round.

The black bike has the wrong fender in general

My 46 b-507 has a springer and it's one long indentation. I think it's the prewar style.

I replaced the fenders in the photo with the proper fenders front and rear.

is the fender on my black bike in the photo above for a blade fork with truss rods? this is just something I had so I put it on.

I was looking to buy this fork but now it is sold, you will see 10 Pre War forks for every one post war.
