RMZ Fender(s) on a DRZ

[bronc3]

I know the front is a bolt-on deal, but which model RM fender should I order for my Yellow '06? I tried wading through old posts after searching, but couldn't find a specific answer.

Also, I found an old thread about fitting a rear RM fender to a DRZ. Has anyone else worked on this one? Seemed like a bit of work, but looked pretty cool.

I'd love to see it done! Obviously I haven't seen it. I'll be lurking....

RMZ is not a direct fit, RM250 is. 02 or newer is the right yellow.

Thanks. Anyone have any more info on the rear swap?

Here is the stocker

I cant find the receipt but I this is from an 04 or 05 RM. I lucked out and got it for 11bucks shipped

I like the RM fender a lot better it shakes a lot less and seems to block a little more mud fly on the wet days. I had to shim the two rear bolts to get the arch to match the wheel. I used two of the stock grommets flipped upside down and it matched it perfect.

guess I should read better. Sorry I thought you were asking about the front. I am going to do the rear this winder I am going to try a newer style RMZ like an '06-'07

Thanks, actually I was asking about both. I know the front is basically a bolt on, I just wanted recommendations as to the correct model & year to order.

As for the rear, The only post I found was an old one with very little follow up and pics no longer posted. I would really like to try the rear.

I can't see the pics here at work, I'll check 'em out tonight when I get home.

Did the front/lower two mounting points match up with the DRZ or is it a total drill/cut/fit kind of deal. I do understand considerable cutting is required, I'm just wondering if any of the RM mounting points match up to give a starting point. What model DRZ do you have? I want to do this to an S.

I have put the front fender from an RM250 on my DRZ. It mounted perfectly with the existing holes. All you will need to do is put a couple extra spacers/wahsers on the 2 rear bolts. If you dont the back of the fender will rub on the frame.

As for the rear fender I too have been looking. I have looked as far back as 98 RM250's all the way up to current RM fenders and have not found a match. I ended up just ordering the stock DRZ rear fender.

If you find a Rear that will work share the info.

Seems there have been a couple members here that have grafted a rear RM fender onto their DRZ, but I haven't seen any mention of it recently. I know it is definately not a bolt-on and involves a bit of cutting and fitting.

If I could figure out the best rear fender to start with I would buy one and try it as they are cheap. I don't have any RMs around here to look at to compare with my DRZ.

every attempt ive seen on trying to graft the rear looks really hack when done.

Basic dimentions must be way too different, eh?

Maybe I should chat with my friends that own an injection-molding outfit.

They might be able to fab a mold using the mounting end of a DRZ rear and the exposed section of an RM rear. The setup is expensive, but production is cheap.

Might even be able to make a plug by grafting the two fenders together and cast a mold from that.

[Wayward Son]

they are drastically different.

making one via injection molding would be trick.

i managed to do both got husaberg front mudguard on now tho looks pretty good even though its a slightly different yellow.The rear mudguard looks good,took ages trimming it down to fit though and doesnt quite line up with the sidepanels so is a slight gap, but i think it looks alright.

When you have time i would really like to see some pics of that rear fender off the bike to see how much work you did....Thanks in advance.

[raynmanx]
