Default front fender size for 900 Custom

hi all,

recently I have changed my front tyre with a 90/90-21, and my front fender broke, so.... I am trying to find a new one, not necessarily stock, but I don’t know what these dimensions mean: 4.50”, 5.50"… and so on, what is this measurement?

How do I know what I need and how to measure?

Thank you….

Mick

Mick... why the new fender? I liked the look of your chopped one, but I guess you get a lot more spray up the front of your bike when you hit mud puddles.

yes, the look is good, i like it too...

but it doesn't need to be a puddle of mud, just a litlle bit of water and it is everywhere.
I mean even on top of the gas tank, on the inside of my visor (i wear a nolan open face with visor), on the top of the head light.....


so is this measurement the opening between the fixing points?

I don't know if it's variations in the Metz tires, or in Kawi's fender/mounting, but there have been a bunch of people run the 90/90 with no problems, but since your post, I've heard of 4 or 5 who have had clearance issues.
