front fenders classic nomad

[starvy40]

Aren't the fenders or for that matter the whole font end the same on a classic as it is on a nomad ? I just ran part#'s on the lower front forks and it is the same, what about fenders ? reason I ask is, I cannot figure out why MC enterprises makes two different fender rails and they say the classic dont fit the nomad.

There was a thread on here just the other week about someone wanting to use a Classic fender on a Nomad. They look the same, but I think it was determined they are different part #s, maybe width?

That just seems crazy Kawasaki would change it, the lower forks are the same so has to be same width there. part# I expect to be different due to paint colors, the first part of the part #'s are the same. maybe someone will confirm there is a difference.

The forks may be the same but the tree's which determine the width may not be.

Thats true, didn't think about that

Is one fender rail better looking than the other, or is there a difference in price, or something?

I remember that thread too... After the search & research, I believe it was the width that was different between the two.

Big difference in price, and one is taller looking being the ( nomad ) classic is lower

Ok, just ran across this on another forum :

Guy had the same question I had, and he took a chance and ordered the classic rail. the following is what he said about it.


Well, the trim came a few weeks ago, and does not fit. The holes lined up fine, but the front of the tirm fell a good inch short of the front tip of the fender. At this point, I'll return it for the trim spec'd for the noamd.
