Which fenders do you replace the original honda item with? Been having trouble with this one getting caught in the front tyre. Ignore incorrectly fitted wolfman pack, it is normally situated tight to the headlight surround. I'm hoping there is a more rigid modern design, preferably in white, available (in the UK)

Alot of people use the xr400 or crf fender. I seen one with a current model white ktm fender and it looked quite good, alot smaller and more rigid then the flappy xr600 one. I run a TTr250 fender on mine.

Short term (cheap) solution is to cut off 3" to 5" inches off the front duck bill. I cut about 3 1/2" off my XRL's, which basically has the same front fender as the XRR. Big improvement by eliminating the flapping at high speeds & it doesn't catch the front tire, either...

XR4 fenders work well but I think you need to add some washers between the rear-most mount holes & the top of the fender to "kick" the front of the fender up to keep the rear portion from rubbing on the down tube. Did that same trick on my old '83 XL600R when I replaced the front fender with an XR350R fender way back when...

That TTr250 fender sure looks nice, though...

Thanks everyone :thumbsup: Looks like I'll be cutting a few inches off the one I have for the time being, and getting a TTR250 one ordered.

CWCarter- very well finished XR you have there - looks like a lot of work went into it. Do you use it for racing, or is it a play bike?

Thanks caravan monster, the xr6 used to be my race/play bike but now it just sits in the shed as its not suited to the tracks I ride now.
