today I ditched the spray painted fenders with these new black ones and restored the shrouds.. Hiding under multiple layers of white paint were these..I got no clue why I painted them:lol:
started with spray stripper and a hose,,then 220,320,600 then took the torch to them..
I wanted to change the headlight shroud to red and a new front fender..Witch should I get...picture it with a red headlight...

I need a Sub poll..:lol: If I go with a black fender should I keep the black headlight or go with the red :crazy:
and what about a black 350X fender?
red headlight I think that will tie in nicely

Actually, that black 350X fender idea sounds pretty good.

its a toss up between the R and the X anyone got a pic of a 350 x fender from the top? where the shocks come down.. is the back of the fender shorter than the R?
mike I got 2 NOS fronts from blazerone there gone bud..:cry:
I got a nice dunlop 23" for the ice:naughty:
85-86 250R fender will not work without modifications..The mounting holes are more narrow than the Z fender and there is not enough room on the plastic to drill new holes to mount to the Z tripples.You might be able to make a adapter bracket though,Or drill new holes and tap them in your Z lower tripple.

I have a white R fender that I had on the drag bike. You just have to drill holes on the fender, and you dont see any of the holes;)

Anyway,I vote Black.

I think you should go with a black R fender, but everybody seems to have a diff. opinion. This is going to be a hard one :wondering .
I think the R fender is mean, yet simpler, and cheaper too. (1 is going on my Z for sure :naughty:).
Just my opinion.
