07 Forks on 05 - Fender options?

[Nolift911]

I am swapping over to some 07 forks (mainly for brakes) but wanted to know what the fender options are? I have the galaxy blue fender (purple-ish) and I do not think they make the for the 07 and up bikes.

Will the R6 fender mod brackets work on this mod for my 05 fender to 07 forks?? Also are the brake line hoses, routing the same?

Anyone?????

OK let me ask another way...are the newer FZ6 forks the same (mounting point wise) as the older R6 forks that everyone swaps out?

I'm not sure about the caliper mounting points between the years. But the fender adapters needed for a R6 fork swap are different from 04-06 models to 07-09's.

Any other color options close to the blue/purple? Anyone swapped fork before and dealt with the fender issue?

Would close pictures help?

I'd think if you measured all points from the AXLE to mount point in question it would help.

My 08 forks are in this album as are 04 R6

That's about all I can offer as I sold the 08 FZ forks.
