front fender hole? - Mike01 - 11-05-15
Hi all
Can anyone tell me what the hole would be for on the rear side of my front fender, only noticed when I looked how to take it off to fit an extender.
Cheers.

Ohh THAT hole - looking at your picture the reflection in your guard of your rad cover makes it look like somone has cut out a square and added some mesh
The hole if I am not mistaken is from the fact that when they designed our bikes a lot of the parts came from other bikes and it is a hole that is used on the bike it was first made for

As above, this was one of the first budget sports tourers so many many things are taken from other bikes to reduce costs!
Think this particular part is from the old xj600 and was a mount for their speedo drive cable!

Thanks gents!
Mesh in the fender, that would be different

It's a drainage hole so if you ever ride through about 2 feet of water it lets water out so your biike doesn't get flooded. :think

Mine's got a plastic plug in it. Should I remove it to stop the engine getting flooded?
Re: front fender hole? - rhinoeli - 12-05-15
Then I drill another hole so it runs through 4 feet of water! :eek

Is there a list anywhere of what parts came from what bikes? Would be interesting to know in case you look up fazer parts and there's none available, you could actually look up, for example front mudguard from a xj600.

There might be, but I've not looked, if I'm looking for a used item I'll do some Google searching beforehand to increase my search results on ebay
Rear wheel is used on several bikes for example trx fzr thundercat and fazer
