drifter fender

will a 2000 drifter front fender fit on a 2000 nomad?

Not without some reworking to clear the brake calipers I think.

I think not...........my Drifter (99') had only one front brake disc.......the Nomad has two.

Will not fit without alterations. Nomad dual discs, Drifter single disc. And yes, can be adapted, add cutout, and I also added stiffeners under bolts, since replacement fenders aren't metal....

I had looked into that when I bought my 01 Nomad and there was a lot of work the body shop had to do to get it to fit . Duffy is correct , the nomad has 2 discs where the drifter has only one . I would have had to change out the whole front end or pay big $$$ to rework the fender . I passed and left it as it was .

Noo, not a Drifter Fender, I've got one modified that fits though.....its cut to clear the dual calipers, made the metal tabs to keep the soft fiberglass from splitting....
I also adapted side skirts to emulate the rear drifter looking fender thats hidden behind my bags.....
Kinda goes with my 50s caddy taillight lenses....
Also, the drifter fender has a plate that goes over the calipers to dress them up. I notched both sides, not running the covers.....

As nice as they look personal I don't want to get rid of the second caliper so I didn't pursue it any further
