That's for a 1500. Yours is a 1600, isn't it?

DR Roos · 10-10-2014, 10:59 PM

Same fender is it not? Or should I say close enough.

cactusjack · 10-11-2014, 12:01 AM

I don't believe so.

DR Roos · 10-11-2014, 01:01 AM

Hard to believe the 1500 & 1600 use different fenders..

mick56 · 10-11-2014, 06:04 AM

Mine was supposed to be for a 1600 but it fit after i redrilled the the hole's, it is a bit too close to mudguard at the front, i should have made the hole's into slot's

The one that you are showing on ebay look's weird, ive never seen one with the round lump's on before.

Mick that is a different style than than the one you have, it mounts on top of the fender just like the trim bars that mount on top of the saddlebags.

Doyle, it might work, you'll have to remove the fender to mount it, and it might be flexible enough if the curvature is different on the fenders. Just remember to measure 3 or 4 times before drilling 4 holes thru your fender. Cover the top of the fender with masking tape, sit it on top of the tape, position it where you want it, mark the post locations, check it several times, then drill one hole and fit the screw in to check the other 3. Do this one hole at a time. Drilling a bolt pattern on top of an arc is deceiving.

I'm 100% sure it will work as you stated it just mounts to the top of the fender.

I'm looking for pictures to see what it would look like installed.

I am going to buy the saddle bag rails of that same style. Thinking this fender trim may be a little to much though.

Those bag rails vary too, mine have 4 bars, some have 3 or even 2, i like mine, the others look empty and half arsed

and when you strap anything on them it rubs on the bag damaging the paint, so a waste of time really, they look shit and you cant carry anything on them.

I have that on mine along with the front fender guard and am thinking I may take the guard off as the two together are a bit much. Will get a pic later today. It does match the top bag rails I have.

I like the 2 rail/half arsed look lots better

then the 4 rail busy look

and I sure they are a lot easier to clean under with only 2 rails too.

Mine would be for looks only but if I did decide to strap a coat or something to the top using the rails hopefully any scratches could be buffed out.

You are right about the cleaning mate,

i use mine to strap shitload's of gear to when i go walkabout and the 2 rail just would'nt be any good to me.
