Title: Other front fender options do exist
Post by: dgyver on August 09, 2006, 07:24:44 PM
I know this has been asked before....

For those that do not like the front fender on the GS, there are some other options.
I actually have a set of GS forks (although bent) to fit some of the fenders I have.
If needed, I can take some pics.

Direct bolt-ons:
89-97 Katana 600/750
Bandit 400 (not sure of the years)

There may be others, but these are the only ones in my parts horde that fit.

Note that the Katana 1100 and the 98+ Kat 600/750 fenders do not fit.

Are they THAT much different than stock GS fenders?

Yes.
The Kat fenders are wider in the front and have more material on the sides.
The B4 is wider in the front as well but not as tall.
I will post some pics but it will not be until next week.

Here is pic of the Kat fender, on Kat forks but for reference.
