rf600 fender

[seabass10369]

got to thinking today.. the rf600 has the same diameter forks and same offset and essentially same rotors, and same tire size as katana my thought was to use a rf600 fender with the rf bracket on a kat. just for shear looks. imo looks better than the one factory on my 01. any one know if its a nice bolt up? heres one with the bracket i found on ebay just for some reference

[seabass10369]

no body? anybody have info on wheel widths or triple tree comparisons. if the forks on rf are same width as kats it should work. guess ill be a guinea pig.

yeah, I have no idea, give it a shot.

[seabass10369]

well it fits.. pretty easy install.

the only modification was grinding the holes to mount to forks a little longer to fit other than that bolt on.

I think it looks good.

I like it, it looks roughly like the same curvature of a bandit fender.

I purchased a carbon fiber bandit fender and had to do the same thing with the mounting holes and it fit perfectly.

yah i like it more than the shoebox of a fender that was on there before.. now i just have to paint it

Should have put some before and after pictures side by side. Wonder if it'll fit on a pre98?

Should fit. That looks nice! Cracken can you post up a pic of your CF fender?

[arsenic]

it's the same fitments pre and post, if you can fit it on a post, you can do the same thing on a pre. BraadaJim has a post fender on his pre.

sadly you'll have to wait awhile for that, whole bike is being repainted along with a lot of other work. going slow
