    GS750E 1983 Front Fender

    I bought this bike a few months ago...I never liked the headlight assembly which is square or the front fairing...

    I removed both and installed a round headlight assembly which look so much better (I think)

    I've been studying the front end...the look of the bike and was thinking the original fender seems so bulky and oversized for the 16" wheel and now with the fairing removed and the lighter looking headlight it would look really good with a smaller type front fender.

    Does anyone know of a supplier for aftermarket front fenders?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        Hey you still have the fairing? I'd be interested in it.

          I don't know of aftermarket manufacturers of simple fenders. Most everything you see these days tends to be super expensive carbon fibre "swoopy" designs for the go fast bikes.

          You might want to take a joy ride out to Zdeno, the wrecker in Kitchener. They have a gazillion bike parts and would likely have something that would suit you. If not you still would enjoy a visit to see all his stuff.

          Good luck with it.

            I don't have pics of it on the bike but I put a '90 Ninja 500 fender on last year to test fit. It's smaller and I like it but I took it back off until I repaint everything. Kawi green fender makes my bike look like nuclear Christmas.

              With it being plastic, you can always shave it down if worse comes to worst.

                Thanks for all your messages...

                Hi,
                I'm new to this forum and hadn't realized there were posts to my post...

                Is there anyway to set it to email me when there are posts?

                Maybe I'll attempt shaving it down...the front fender that is...
