An attempt was made in the past to catalog different fenders and stays. I am not sure how good of a job we did, but here is the thread:
fenders-and-stays-t12462.html?hilit=fender
Joe, if you are still monitoring this thread, I am still curious about the front fender off my '74 Mk2 which has a formed trailing edge. I have every reason to believe it came off the showroom floor with that fender, but I have yet to see another with that same trailing edge.
Anybody have a stainless fender with a formed trailing edge?

rvich,
Your formed trailing edge is a mistery to me. My 1968 Fastback has an original (narrow) mudguard and I have another, dented and rusty original narrow mudguard, both have no formed trailing edge.
On my son's Commando we have a secondhand genuine wide mudguard, again the trailing edge is not formed, and I do not remember it was on my 1977 Mk3 I bought new that year, either.
Hence our newly produced front mudguards have only the leading edge formed.

The thread link in my previous post has photos of both ends of the fender in question. I have three front fenders, all of them have a rolled front edge, not formed. The fender with the formed trailing edge was on this bike (1974 mk2) when it was purchased in California in the summer of 1974 according to the previous owner. It is identical in every respect to the stainless fender on my 750, except for that trailing edge. So I dunno. Could it be a Triumph fender?
