Hi all! I was wondering if I could get some help choosing a tree. I have been sent 3 Lynn Mckenzie trees, the wide nueva, the reqular nueva and the LM 10% bar. I dont have a fitter around me activily which is why I was sent the trees. I have a vague idea how these should fit but I know I am not a expert. Also, these are the best pictures I was able to get. Thank you! I apoligize if I get the tree names wrong, I wasnt told which one was which so I have been guessing if anyone could help me out lol.

This is Tree #1, the 10% Im pretty sure. 

 

Here is tree #2,  which I am pretty sure is the wide

 

Here is tree #3, which I think is the regular nueva.

I've received LM trees before to try just like you are doing. The #10 (tree 1) is too narrow. The #2 Wide looks "ok" but not great. The #3 is too narrow. 

I had the same issues. 

I ended up going with a Double J Pozzi WIDE and it is perfect. The LM angles are just very narrow, I found.

Thank you! I knew the angles weren't right,  I was just  really hoping I was wrong lol. She has been a pain in my butt to fit, I think this is saddle number 5 or 6. I have a double j fitter here in Washington but it has been hell trying to get her out. I will see in any of my friends have a wide. Thanks!

The bar angles in the back are all wrong on all three, to perched... I also have a Double J wide and fits pretty near perfect..

Her back has been the hardest part of her to fit. No I have not contacted Larry. How would I do that? I have seen some of his saddles and I love them.

Larry has a website and a FB with phone on there. He will make you a saddle that will fit.
