Good evening!
I want to get rid of that low front fender on my 2008 Z. Does a R-fender fit right on or do I have to look for some universal?
greetings

Check under the bottom yoke to see if it has the four holes to accept, if yes, just try one.

Re: R fender on a Z?
Thanks for answer! Yes I´ve checked and it looks like an R fender would fit the holes - IF the rear part of the fender is short enough.jibber wrote: Fri Aug 20, 2021 6:18 am Check under the bottom yoke to see if it has the four holes to accept, if yes, just try one.
It´s such a short space between the yoke and the cooler on the Z and don´t know if it´s the same on the R? I thought if anyone had tried...
The reason to swap is of course it would look so much harder with a high fender!
