Front Mudguard

Or fender to some.

I had an off on the way to the Dragon and cracked mine clean across (1986 Tenere). Anybody point to a supplier of a cheapish replacement, doesn't have to be a straight copy, so long as it fits with a bit of drilling. And preferably white so I don't have to muck about with spray.

Cheers,

Richard

Have a look on ebay there is loads of stuff out there, I think acerbis still do the retro looking universal fender but polisport etc all do similar stuff, look from £12 up and the up really does go up Tourathiefs are asking nearly £80 for a plastic front fender for the new xt660z !

infact you have jogged my memorary I have a white fender that may suit its from an early TTr 250 but you can have it if you like just sort me out some dough for the postage, unless you frequent the M1 around junctions 17 - 20 then you could just pick it up.

I have also been searching for one for my 1985 Tenere. The blue ones are impossible to find - Yamaha have none. You may be able to get white if that's what colour your after but I have just been quoted £78 + postage from Granby.

You may spot one on ebay Germany or Italy but then it's expensive postage.
Let me know what colour your after and if I spot one I'll let you know. Maybe you could also let me know if you see an original blue one.

Cheers

Gary

Mudguard through MCN

I agree e-bay is useful but i have had good results through MCN, either in the classifieds or breakers advertising new bikes being broken. Sorry to be vague but I am sure I saw one on ebay recently, maybe even the last few days..... Check it out...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
