Rear Plastic Inner Mudguard

#1 PostAuthor: martinz1b » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:10 pm

Can anyone tell me if the earlier Z1/A/B inner fender will fit the later Z900A4 frame, I know there are subtle differences but if it is just cosmetic it doesn't matter to me.

Thanks

Fairly certain they are one and the same.
Z1000 A1/A2 look the same, but are slightly longer.
Four pipes rule, anything else is second best.

I have only seen the Z900/1000 one in pictures, but the part that fastens to the very back of the frame next to the tail piece mountings looks like it could have a deeper ridge than the earlier one. I am not sure.

The earlier ones are not the same as the Z1000 ones I have one here that is as has been mentioned a different profile to the Z1000 and is a different shape at the bottom - which if you think about it is logical because of the change fron drum to rear disc. I don't know if the Z900 is the same as earlier ones. This one has metal inserts around the hole, the Z1000 didn't have those obviously a penny pinching measure, and yes the holes can split on the later one proving that the inserts were a good idea.


This guard is surplus to requirements and is in reasonable shape it has a small hole part way down it, it doesn't fit my 1000 so it's not needed anyone any idea what it's worth or offers?

I just bought one for a tenner off Ebay but there are still some up for auction for £38. In the club mag they are £30.
