bobber fender question

GRHebard

Been Around the Block
maybe im overthinking this, but im getting a 7metalwest fender for my XS650. i have a tire thats like 4.4" wide. do i get the 4.5" wide or 5" wide?

im worried that if i get the 4.5" one then itll look clean, but itll rub, especailly since i plan on doing some touring and i dont want to be have my tire rubbing holes in my sleeping bag the entire time

but i dont want to get a 5" one if itll be too goofy looking and have a huge gap. if you cant tell, im a fan of a tight fit. so i dont want the fender to be too big if it doesnt need to be

what do you guys think?
thanks for the input

Get the 5". Thats a 1/4" each side,still narrow. With a 4.4" tire width I don't think you would have any clearance with a 5.5" fender. To narrow would look as bad as to wide.
