    Hi All...

    I'm new to this site, this being my first ever post!
    I have started to make some modifications to my Thunderbird 900 (yr2000). So far I have changed the handle bars to a lower profile pair and next I'm looking to get a much shorter set of fenders. I have purchased a front fender and discovered I need to get a bracket for it... This seems pretty straightforward (Famous last words). The rear fender however, seems a little trickier...

    Question 1.... Is the Bonneville fender compatible...?
    Question 2... Has anyone done the same, if so any decent suggestions? Any dos/donts...?
    Question 3... Does anyone know where I can get a bracket for the front fender?

    Appreciate any help anyone is able to offer...!

    Cheers

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    Not sure about the Bonnie fender - I changed mine from stock Bonnie to Scrambler and had to buy a bracket, but sure someone will be able to answer your question. Had to get my bracket from World of Triumph in the end.
