I always thought the bottoms were close enough to fit. I will take a look at the one I have & it might just be the 71 - up style. Hopefully it will work out. Update: I actually have the right one. Glad I looked before I bought another one.Correct frame wrong cover...

I've got the correct centers on the back ralleys and have the correct ones for the front as well but just havent put them on yet. I will need to pick up a set of correct trim rings for it if I decide to go with the ralleys. I think it originally came with ralleys. 6998027-DSCN4235.JPG (236 downloads)
