The front fender covers the front wheel and acts as a mudguard against the front electrics and the front panel of the battery casing.


Low Fender

The S and SR models have a low front fender.

The low front fender is a colored or painted panel like the tank plastics that hugs the (17") front tire.
Mounting
The low front fender bolts onto the lower front fork cast aluminum bracketing.
The mounting uses 4 (2 per side) M5x15 bolts with a black finish, with a 3mm Allen/hex key (H3) drive with black plastic washers.
The holes are 85mm apart (centerline-to-centerline), and the width across the brackets measured from the outside face is 192mm across the wheel (taken from a 2020 DSR).
Transfer to other models
It bolts directly onto the FXS' lower forks around its tire even though the FXS comes with a dual sport fender.
See Low Front Fender Swap for how to adapt this to the DS and DSR models.


High Fender

The DS, DSR, and FXS models have a dual sport / high front fender.

The dual sport fender attaches to the underside of the front fork triple tree.
Mounting
4 holes in a rectangular shape 58mm (2.3in) wide and 50mm (1.95in) front to back (center to center).
The bolts are (at least through 2016) M5x15mm button head socket screw for a 3mm Allen key.
The bolts on 2017?-present models are M5x15mm flanged socket head screws for a T25 Torx key.
Transfer
This fender also fits a S/SR model.
A Honda or Yamaha dual sport fender should fit this pattern without modification.
