Is this really a GS fender?

No, it is not. GS fender doesn't come around the fork legs like that. But, it does look like it will fit.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

The top is too rounded and would require spacers to make work.  Check ebay and the for sale section here, Ive seen atleast 4 in the last week or so.

At least we agree it is not a GS fender.

I have a flat top fender that I thought was a 92 B4, guess not now. Now I need to figure out what year/model it is.


cool to meet you Ken  :thumb:

OK that brings out point number 2 ...
Was the B6 ever offered in that shade of red ... I remember That dark green in the early years and later had a deeper shade of red, then silver then deep blue ... OK that fender can be a repaint ... looks too new to be some of an old anything. The pics also show the top only, the sides of a B6 fender were shorter I think than a GS or B4.
Cool.

Since you are pretty up on the Bandit, I will take a pic of the fender I have and see if you can ID it for me.

Yea had a huge soft corner for those air oil GSXR and derivatives.
My close friend had a B6 and I did a bunch of work on it. Here is another trick for the GS ... If you want a lower seat and a better shock ... OK yea fit a Kat shock and longer dogbones OK ... fine, but a Kat shock with its linkage and dogbones ... same effect. Though a Kat shock is better than a B6 ...
Cool.
