I have a yellow fender rather like that green one.
I bought it years ago, it was just an el cheapo fiberglass cafe racer one, made to fit anything - Hondas Nortons etc etc . Although it will need hose clamps to fit ?

Are there genuine Norton versions of it ?
How do you tell ?

From what I can tell there are at least three variations for the Norton ones.


The long and skinny ones are the Dunstalls.


Slightly shorter were the Factory Proddy ones.


And the fatter Norvil fenders.

I could be wrong and the Dunstalls and the original Proddies are the same size. There could be others.

The lower one appears to be the JPS Item , which may be the ' wet weather ' Norvil / PR one .

Were plenty of ' blade ' Dunstall / Norvil ' universal ' aftermarket ones in N.Z. in the 70s . ( dime a dozen or $ 15 )
which were the hoseclip ones . Will have to glare at Dunstall , But I think the Gen U Wine P. R. / Norvil one below bolts to
the slider lugs , as do the P. R . pirate ones on E Bay .

So what are the dimensions of the early front fender side to side? I might have "something" here.

4.65" at the front right behind where the roll ends, 4.4" at the bridge and 4.4" at the rear stay +_ about .025". Here's a pic of the length.

If you could help this guy out, he'd really like it.

It'll have to wait til we have this place ready for the crew tomorrow, then I'll look into poking around. While I'm on the subject, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
