FZS600 and FZS1000 have different forks so I would guess the mounting will be different.

There was a guy on ebay who was doing a 'sports' mudguard. Thought of getting one myself. I've had a good look and a google and can't seem to find it though. I'll have another go.


Try searching for yamaha fzs600 fazer sports fender, or sports mudguard.
The picture of it fitted on the bike was of a blue Foxeye with bellypan, hugger and sports mudguard, and the carb covers and side pannels were also colour matched blue. The photo was a 3/4 front shot from the off side.... if it helps  :D

Ive got one that i bought off the ebay guy...painted black.




Think it was about £70 then i paid another £80 to get it painted......im breaking the bike so it is off at the mo........Pilgo has dibs on it but they had a bit trouble with their bike so ill check if they still want it.




Thing is the drill points for the mounting were done properly.....but the points were obviously a bit low so the front edge was too close to the tyre & stones were getting trapped so ive set to it with a file to make the holes more oblong so that it sits higher off the tyre...i do believe i had almost sorted it but mow i cant find the mounting screws.




Ill message Pilgo & try find those bolts.

Still in the realms of decision making at the mo.




Thing us Pilgo would prefer it was just ready to fit but i reckon it still needs a little fettling, maybe some large washers & maybe  even rubber washer covers just to not put too much pressure on the fibreglass when tightening up over the elongated holes.


Thing is i dont really want to foc it up.


So just waiting a wee bit & see what pilgo reckons....if they pass then you can have it if you're happy to micro adjust......a bit annoying that they come not properly fittable....i suppose it's something to do with the mould when they copied it off the yam original.




By the way...if it does go im after £60 plus postage.......so long as the colour is suitable then that's a good saving as it cost me £75 plus postage & then £80 to get it sprayed.

Pilgo has agreed that you can have it so ill stick you down for that.




We can arrange a meeting point or something but if you want it reasonably soon then most of my time off is during the week...my next free weekend day is sunday 6th July.
