With the model change from 1979 to 1980 - due to the new fork - the recesses for the inner tubes in the front fender have been moved to the rear, therefore the old shape of the fender fits only with the help of our adapter on XT500 models from 1980 onwards. Finally, the 'late' XT500 (recognisable by the aluminium tank and the front wheel mounted 'in front' of the fork) can be converted to the slim, short fender of the years of construction up to 1979 easily and without further modification!
Fitting the short fender of the early years to the XT500 from 1980 onwards; inconspicuous mounting by means of an adapter under the lower yoke - the fender sits perfectly centrally between the inner tubes and is still decoupled with rubber bushings. The wiring loom can also be routed under the yoke as intended.
