I just installed the new style fenders on my GS-R.. Wow, they are so easy to install (if you have a good pal like Reg by your side )..here are the pics..

Awesome lookin ryde:thumbup:.
One question, what is the ridge that runs to the inside of the fender? I have not seen one of these up close yet.

That's how they hide the brackets on the new fenders.
Our old fenders had all of the brackets "under" the fender. The new style fenders have the brackets "on top of" the fender.
I really dig the new fenders!

I wonder if there is any way whatsoever that the new fenders can be attached to the old brackets (modded)....doubt it, but still curious...

Does it cost a Lot to update?:dontknow:

Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:

Retail pricing I'm seeing is something like $400 for the brackets and another $250 for the fenders......:yikes:
They are SOOOO sweet though....

What he said :thumbup:.. The brackets now go on top of the fender and they are covered by the plastic track that has the LED tip.
the old brackets will not work :sour:.. The new ones are are a two part kit with spacers and longer bolts... The instructions are not the best, but easy to figure out.
The are very close to the tire (I have the stock size tire)..love the look.

Not really..as Bumblebee67 pointed on fleabay, the prices are the same as the BRP catalog.. You got to buy the fenders and the new brackets..

I think that they moved to this setup in order to set the fender a bit closer to the tire for better aerodynamics...
It looks great! :2thumbs:

They also added a skirt on the inside of the tire, presumedly also for aerodynamics.

 

[Bob Denman]

Never noticed that :shocked:... Thanks Scotty! :clap: :firstplace:

you are correct Scotty.. the fender kit comes with three plastic sections: one that goes on top of the tire and below the brackets + one that houses the front LED tip + one for the side wall. This last part covers a great deal of the tire facing the A arm.

It looks like the entire set-up provides less air resistance and water channeling towards the rider.. they are a huge improment compared to our original ones.

The previos model has a single bracket. The new set-up comes with two brackets that mount on the same spot with larger bolts and spancers.

I was looking at doing the same upgrade.....very cool !!

I think they Look Good But for $1,300 for both fenders , Suzi Ormann would Not like that?:yikes: I am Dissapproved if I want my Fico Score to continue to be avove 800?nojoke

 

[aka1004]

It's $650 for both side.

like AKA1004 said..no more than $650. As per your FICO score, it can stay above 800 if you pay your credit card bill in full at the end of the month

I like it very cool. I was looking at these as well. My spyder is gloss black and it looks like these are a matt black. I wonder how it would look though? What do you think?

I am guessing you can get them in glossy black as direct replacement for 20013 black/platinum RSS.
$250 for 2 fenders are pretty good and hopefully brp would charge same for glossy black ones???
