Me again. I was doing the fork seals on my newly acquired 91 FZR400RR (possibly with some SP component to it) which is undergoing rehabilitation of the engine kind, and removed the front fender, which has seen better days. It's a bit mangled and cracked, and the previous owner has bodged it together and painted the rear half matte black - not a bad strategy, but it's now coming adrift. If I can't replace it readily, I'll start repairing it... again.

Firstly, can anyone verify for me that the white with spangly sparkly specialness is what's referred to as Silky White? As per the following pic:



Secondly, does the 3TJ share its front fender with any other models, especially ones which also had the same white paint? I'm hoping that I can find a more widely available model which had the same fender, and get hold of a replacement that way.

If anyone here has a spangly sparkly special white front fender to suit a 3TJ, in not-too-shabby condition, give me a PM and I may be able to take it off your hands. :)

Thanks,

Tristan

spangly sparkly special white

Or Pearl as we call it :)

I don't know of any bikes with a similar mudgaurd

The supplier i have got the prices from supply the fender in the orignal white for that bike and is around about £60 plus vat and postage for i had to buy one for my sp race kit in the same colurs.

Well, that's not too extreme a price, given the difficulty of making a worthwhile repair and the expense of getting it repainted. I'll check out how my rebuild budget goes, and that might have to be added to the list.

Can anyone verify for me the official name of the speacial sparkly pearly white colour? I know there's probably a million different kinds of white.
