[Fentibot]

HI looking for the above Yamaha part number is 3062-1611-00-93. Must be willing to ship to the UK be in good or solid restorable condition. Thanks George landgdixon@gmail.com

That would be the 72-73 rear fender.
A 70-71 fender could also be used.
The difference is in the flasher relay mount at the bottom/front of the 72-73 fender.

Info on that in Mailman's XS2 thread.

Thanks Toomany, appreciate the input.
In the UK I have to rely on Ebay for US model parts like this. I have searched for 'XS 650 rear fender' but currently no luck. Any links to US specialist breakers would also help. Many thanks George

Hi 2M..thank you so much, I'm not sure why this didn't come up in my searches as i have used several different search options. I am waiting for a substantive quote for shipping as the guy is suggesting 3-4 times the US rate which would make it nearly $400 with UK import taxes. I could probably get the original repaired and re-chromed for less than that. I'll wait and see what he says first.

... nearly $400 with UK import taxes...

Oh good grief.

Maybe he could relist it as a used $5 snow shovel...

He's just been in touch to say shipping would be $263. Not financially viable unfortunately. Couple of hits from one of the Facebook forums that look promising.
