So what year would the tool box be. It was on the 58 I have and I don't see how it will catch the fender

Does the tool box have a smooth cover and a screw type closure? That type would be correct for '58.

That is a '55-'57 toolbox. It is harder to find than either of the other types, so you should be able to sell or trade it for what you need.

I may have the correct one for your bike. If I do would you be interested in trading?

Hey jerryd I sent you a couple of pm’s about the toolbox. Just curious if you got them. I may be totally computer illiterate and messed something up. Thanks, Craig.
