it may fit if you just squeeze it together enough to slide in place. as long as the bolt holes line up it should work.

Fender is made that way and you need to remove the front wheel & axel, push the fender into place from above lower fork legs, install the fender bolts but do not tighten them. Reinstall the wheel & axel., tighten the axel until the forks are parallel, align fender and tighten fender bolts. Fender was made of heavy guage steel and is a tight fit so it acts as a fork brace also (all of them were made this way).
