KZ 650 Front Fender Options
03 Apr 2008 02:16 - 03 Apr 2008 02:17
'79 KZ650 B3
It has the old style front fender with the bracing strut. I want to go to something more modern looking. I saw this one, it's on an '83 ZN700. The forks look the same, would this bolt up? What else might work?

I can't tell well enough from that little pic, but I believe that '83 has the axle in front of the forks, so the fender will be offset as well.
I've had an LTD 900/1000 front fender on, which is shorter than stock. Only thing is it allowed water to spray up under my gas tank and shorted out the electrics. :pinch:
Just needed to drill new mount holes to sit right:
I now hav an '83 (I believe) GPz750 front fender. It's wider, and needs to be squeeze to get in. New mount holes drilled again:
