Hello,
Thanks to all for responses to my questions about the fuses (although I suspect the problem is the headlight relay).
When I purchased my bike the front fender was off, and I didn't have the proper bolts and hardware to put it back on. I have recently acquired these parts, but after putting the front fender on (and taking a smoky and smelly test ride) I found that the top bracket is rubbing up against the tire. I guess I should have checked this before the ride. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe the bracket I bought is for a later model, though it was advertised as universal for /5s. Or perhaps the tires are oversized??? Is that possible? Maybe mine was made in the early part of 1974 and they still used the old style bow. Would that work/fit my bike?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
John
