Quick question:

Will an XB12XT front fender fit my '09 XB12X if I remove the funky beak?

Love the Uly. Not crazy about the beak...

tia,

If you want to ruin the good looks? Yes, it will fit. but there is a small gap because of the XT's lower suspension.

Lots of folks have put XB front fenders on Uly's, but the fender looks smallish on the long legged Uly. I made this one specifically because I didn't like the beak on my Uly:

I have a black XT fender I took off my X that the PO put on it. I had to drill out the screws because they put red lock on the screws. The holes got a little hot and out of round but will still work and look good with stainless washers. If your interested i can post some pics of it.

If you do, don't forget the wire form that holds the front brake line away from the tire that you don't have on your X model.

the x holds the brake line on the fender.

That's like saying you like the looks of the Bloodhound, just not the floppy ears.

Man, I want to "beak" mine up. You thinking of selling it?

Thanks for the feedback, lads.

Anyone with an XB12XT want to trade their front fender for an XB12X beak?

My Uly's blue. If your XT's red, I'd be interested in a complete bodywork swap.
