Long rear mudguard

#1 PostAuthor: Nick.s » Sun Dec 20, 2020 6:58 pm

Hi all, I’m fitting a reflector to my long rear mudguard. As there wasn’t one fitted before I don’t know the exact position, I was hoping someone could tell me the hole positions relative to the lower edge of the mudguard.
Thanks hopefully
Nick.

Pic, sounds like your about to convert a z1 mudguard to a z900. Z1 shouldn’t have reflector holes.

It’s a Kz900c ex chips bike, so it had a painted long rear mudguard with no reflector fitted

Just measured the reflector bracket on my z1000 long mudguard.

From the bottom lip of the mudguard to the centre of the holes measures approximately 96mm. Hope this helps.

Please see images.

Gee...there must be a few Z1 owners out there who can't believe you'd want to drill holes in an early type fender. :sad
The ones without holes are much rarer. You might want to try and do a swap

Thanks mjay, that’s exactly what I need.
It’s not an early z1, it’s a ‘76 Kz900c with a wider squared off bottom to match the light shape, so no good for a z1 :rock
