Yamaha XS650 - front forks question

Post by RING_DING »

There's a great looking front fender/mudguard on MikesXS website and I'm trying to determine if it would fit a Kettle. Can anyone provide the measurement between the front forks at the fender mounting holes? It is 4 7/8 inches on the Kettle. The XS650 forks look very similar but I would like to know for sure.

The width of my fork mounting holes are 4 5/8.the hole centres are 2 1/2 in.(XS1) some one may have a TX650 or latter XS.

Thanks Alan. So far so good. Could I ask you to also measure the vertical distance from the mounting hole centers in the fork to the underside of the fork dust seal (doesn't have to be exact). Just want to make doubly sure that this will fit.
