The DS/DSR/FX/FXS models have a [[Gen2/High Front Fender|dual sport high fender]] which does flex a bit at speed.
: [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=5464 Some research] indicates that the bolt pattern mounting the fender matches the Honda XR650L, allowing third-party fenders to replace it.

;Confirmed Fits
: [http://www.jnsengineering.com/product/honda-xr650l-front-fender-brace/ JSN Engineering's fender braces].
: JSN Engineering also offers an [https://procycle.us/bikepages/xr650l.html#aux-led-mount auxilliary LED mount] that uses the same attachment point.

;Steps
: The pattern is 4 holes in a rectangular shape 58mm (2.3in) wide and 50mm (1.95in) front to back (center to center).
: The bolts are M5x15mm button head socket screw for a 3mm Allen key.
# Remove the fender with a 3mm Allen key.
# Install the fender brace above the fender and replace the fender.

# Flex the fender to match the fender brace while keeping the mounting bolts in the fender to hold the brace the way it will be installed.
# Mark the fender where the holes for bracing align with the fender plastic.
# Remove the fender and drill holes matching the marks.
#: Double check how the alignment should happen since flexing will cause it to differ.
# Replace the fender with the brace above it, and then fasten the fender to the brace.

;Trivia
: the S fork bracket has the same hole pattern as the DS, allowing it to mount hardware there.
