All XB and 1125 models use the same fender, only exeptions are the X and STT (mini fork guards).

The fender is available in many colors, or carbon fiber :P

The catalog has a list of all the part numbers for the different colors.

You will need to get a different piece to hold the headlight to the fork, you can make it from a piece of bent metal and 2 holes drilled if your too cheap.


For aftermarket panels, there isn't a huge selection. American Sport Bike and Trojan have what your looking for.

Highly recommend the American Sport Bike C/F ULY fender, looks more fitting on the X then the regular XB front fender size, plus offers better protection of the fork sliders from road debris.

Or the Treadmarks Acerbis version. That gets my vote.
