250 - 500 rear fender conversion.........again

<< < (2/2)

Timbowe:
There is a certain amount that has to be trimmed. But it is not that bad. Secret is to just take a little bit a time and keep going back to the bike and fitting it up in the spot to see if you're doing the right thing. Mostly at the front rounded section and a little bit on the sides at the front. I used the bench grinder to slowly take back the areas that needed to be trimmed. A bit at a time. The rear bolts holes where it screws up to the frame can be a bit tight but once in and bolted they are no worries. The key is to have a nice fit around the back of the airbox. Shapped to fit up snuggly. If you can suceed here, it almost can look factory. Good luck. :-D

I couldn't get my 93 fender to fit as nice as I wanted. I ended up cutting it in half and rivetting it to the bottom half of the 500 fender. Very succesful. I have some pics I will post in my gallery. The 94 fender might work this was since you only need from the side mounting holes back. Cam.
