And while you're at it, tell me if any fenders other than YZF750 ones fit on YZF750 forks!

Fender - wtf. Less of this Johnny foreigner chatter - it's a bloody mudguard
And no, (unless you want to start drilling new holes and patching existing) nothing else bolts straight onto the YZF forks

Thanks Phuk!
Don't mind butchering an R1 (etc.) MUDGUARD
if it's just a case of drilling two holes on each side and plugging up existing ones, and the result (assuming done correctly) looks OK. Are there any candidates that you know of? YZF750 mudguards are quite rare on e-bay, for obvious reasons.
Otherwise it's off to ARD I go with my £50...

ive tried a few different guards on my R1 front end. You can buy undrilled "race glass" kits. Most are universal fits, just require you to drill them and put some bungs in them. Not really that hard.
01 - 02 are same i think, 03 - 04 are also same, not sure if all are similar or they have differences. Just ask a R1 forum, they will set you straight.
