They are all the same.  No other year's fenders will help.  

However, if you have repro fenders, they are likely to be quite different.

Possible line on some wider fenders. I see some members are coming to the showdown in Aug.
Airkewld.com, who knows, check em out.  Good luck

what kind of wheels & tires are you planning on running?

maybe getting the wheels narrowed to lessen the + offset a possiblity?

i've got centerlines(four bolt) on there;it's going to be real close,but i see inch and a half widened fenders advertised and that should do it....i really like these wheels and don't want to screw around with them if it can be avoided...mike
