Which bike is this fender from?
« on: October 15, 2020, 02:28:29 PM »
I'm thinking it's from either a GL1000 or a z1?  Any idea?

Some of the Hondamatics had a similar fender too.

Yup, looks like it could be from a hondamatic too.

If it's from a Matic, the brace should bolt on to a 73 to 78 K fork.... if the brace looks changed,  probably from a GoldWing.
 So on this one it's has to be changed anyway for that fork,  so hard to tell.

Now I wonder if length of fender is the same between Matic and GL?

 My brothers old K4 has a gl fender that looks like that. It's bolted to the bracket. I'm going to swap it back, he's one of those guys that thinks anything different must be better.  It was a gl1000 warranty take off, specs in the chrome that got worse with age.

Looks like the very rare CB750K0 "Deluxe", not too many of those white whales out there now.......... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
