The Dude set me up with one of his fenders for my FJ1100. Of course it was after I spent two afternoons gluing back the jigsaw puzzle that was once my original fender.
After doing some searching here in this forum, I learned that these fenders are hard to get in the US. I came across his ad on eBay so I jumped on it! $110 bucks plus tax & shipping.
Can you give us more details?
FYI If it fits the 84/85 FJ.....it fits all FJ's.
John, I saw a FJ in the Mission today. Was it you?

Hi Joe,
Probably not, I've been riding my 89 BMW K100RS. So that means there's another FJ in town!

The Dude listed it as National's Fiberglass Yamaha FJ100/1200 1994/1997, but I'm sure he meant 1984/1987.
Any tricks to drilling out the mounting holes without cracking or chipping the fenders?
Must be. I've seen one in my neighborhood some time ago as well.
Start with a 1/16" drill bit and slowly work up from there. You are right to be concerned as you can crack fiberglas from drilling too big a hole at first. I would go 1/16-1/8-5/32-3/16-etc.

Use drills for plastic, they work by carving the diameter with a long point before the final diameter. I use them for my plastic work.
