    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What front fender is this?

I've looked and looked, but can only find fenders close, but just not it. It may be from something that isn't even offered in the states. The bike in the video has Uruguay plates, but even googling bike in Uruguay I don't see anything like it.
 
I can find similar stuff online, but for smaller wheels. Usually for the later models that ran 16 or 17 inch wheels.
 
On a related note: what other models are known to swap on (bolt on....matching mounting holes) a 1980 GS550?

I would think most conventional style forks have very close mounting points that a little stretching of the fender holes can make just about any fender work. the big limiting factor would be the spacing between the forks. Inverted forks are mounted differently, but with some trimming of the lower mount areas and some drilling can be made to work also. That fender doesn't look to have been done that way, but if a pro fabricator did the work, we wouldn't know if it was modified. Most of the fenders I looked at, were of 250-500 cc bikes because they still used similar sized tires.

The guy from the video replied:

"the fender brand is CIRCUIT , is from Brazil and is a generic fender not from a specific bike.the fender brand is CIRCUIT , is from Brazil and is a generic fender not from a specific bike."

He also gave me a link to their website. As of yet, I haven't been able to find it on there, though.
