R fender on a Z?

Post by laidback »

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.

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.
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! :bat:

Actually, if you just Google 'xt660z front mudguard ' it brings up a load of helpful images.
