GPZ900R front fender was created by Bozo
Sorry if this offends someone, but I am putting a modified GPZ1100B together with CBR1000F wheels (2006 I think). Anyway I have the front fork assembly (without the fender) from a GPZ900R (1986) I hope someone reading this has a GPZ900R they can use to measure if this tyre will fit with the GPZ900R fender. The diameter (tyre included- of the CBR wheel is 605mm (23 13/16").

I will measure my 84 900 Ninja later and let you know............width of your tire might also be any issue looking at your photo. Ya might want to move your question to the chassis section.

Paintworkz, I thank you very much, it saves me buying a guard only to be disappointed that it doesn't fit. The width according to an old tyre I have from this front end is the same 120 width so no problems. Later I might post this build but until I'm sure this is going 100% ahead I'll wait for now.
By these measurements this wheel/tyre should fit with 1/2" to spare (maybe for tyre expansion at 200kph)

Regards John
