82 650 G front fender interchange

[Guest]

Does anyone know what front fender's will fit on my 82 650 G. The original is plastic. I would prefer a chrome, or metal one. I was told that the same year E would work, but not sure I really like the funky flip up in the back. I was also told that one from a L would not fit because of the fork's being different.

So. Anyone know what will and will not fit. Thanks.

You'll probably want one from the beloved "L" model GS bike....I think they were known for having chrome "everything", haha.

I think all the mounting brackets are the same?
I have 3 different GS bikes and all of them look the same?

L bikes with a leading axle won't work, dispite what some will say. I know, I bought one and tried it.

My 650G had a chrome 650 L fender on when i got it, he had made it fit by hogging out the mounting holes.
It looked really stupid.

So Charlie. Care to tell what this fender is off of. Or is it a secret.

I really don't know what it was off of. I got it on a 1980 450e I owned. It's not a stcok 450e fender as far as I can tell. I bought another 450e fender off e-bay and noticed that the new one matched most of the chrome fenders in the gallery on GSR and I assume that this was the correct fender for the 450, were it now resides. If you find out let me know.
