Title: Front mudguard/fender
Post by: johnnyalpha on February 10, 2013, 03:12:53 PM
Hi Folks, my front mudguard is getting into a pretty sorry state, all the usual cracks in all the usual places.
Now getting a new,or even a decent one, is getting harder and harder.
Is there a substitute from any other machine that folks have used to replace their front mudguard/fender ?

Check the first post --it maybe of some help. 

I'm just took the front fender off after having it on the bike for one season and the repair has held up--no cracks

At this particular time you can get the front half of the fender, maybe even in the correct color from the inventory I have in stock.

Yamaha Front Fender (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M%2FC%3AFJFF)

The back half of the fender is obsolete and eBay is your only friend there for the time being.
