No. Mounting is way different. M2 fender mount on the brace. XB mount to fork leg lowers. M2 doesn't have the holes.

the x1 and s1 would have the same issue as the xb. the best way to do this would be to change the forks to one of the 3.

I put a XB fender on my M2. Just welded up a small brace to go from the axle clamp bolts up to the 2 mounting holes on the side of the fender and also bolted down through the top of the fender like the stock M2. I will see if I can get some pics later tonight. I like it and it works as good as the stock one.

The little kink in the wire is because someone left my tape measure out in the rain and it stretched. But you get the idea.



No, your eyes are right, It's a European model with the kickstand on the right.

didn't notice till now but I still have a 1/2" of tire to scuff up.

I had thought about lowering the fender with some spacers to better hug the tire but that will have to wait until my tape shrinks back down. And if ya like my kickstand, I also have a bridge for sale.

Nope on the London bridge, Already shipped it to Arizona, But I will make ya a good deal on one I have sitting in N.Y.



OK. just to ease some wondering minds, I was changing rear brake pads and the bike is leaning over on a axle stand. That's the shiney thing in the background.

4wuds i was wondering because i know a guy who in the 70's built a chopper out of a norton and for some reason basically cause he could he put the kickstand on the right . so all bikes were lined up one way and there was his leaning the wrong way ive seen it and always done a double take
