Hi Steve I have some Berthold Stainless fenders as well as Honjo Fenders on 2 of my bikes. The Honjos are much lighter and nicer looking but not as tough. The aluminum fenders can be bent slightly for a better fit. Bending the by increasing the width reduces the diameter, also reducing the with increases the diameter. There are some nice photos of mostly KOF bikes with Honjos at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/honjo/pool/ One you start riding with fenders you will wonder why you waited so long. Not only do they you keep you and your bike dry they keep your bike
much cleaner.
Good Luck
