    Does anybody have a source for a carbon fiber front fender for a 2000 VFR? I have searched and have come up empty.
    Thanks ahead of time,


    Primo

    I'm still waiting for the seller to get back about fitting. You can only buy direct from yahoo Jp if you have an account and you need a Japanese postal address for that. You can deal through an agent but there are some pretty dubious agents and it can be a bit of a minefield. I used to get stuff through a mate over there but he soon got fed up and I found my own agent who is a bit more understanding about the draconian, (for "draconian" read "rip-off"), customs charges in the UK than some of the other "bigger" more established agents, (something I gather you don't have to worry about in the States you lucky people). I was always picking parts up for people before I had the VFR and was on a different forum - in that case, it was mainly for two stroke parts. I've offered my services on the UK VFR forum with a different bike but they have certain rules about selling, even though I don't make anything out of this myself. I'm more than willing to help out if anyone is considering buying from Japan, wether it's just giving advice or picking items up for people.

    My roommate has one for a 4th gen. I could see if it fits my 5th gen but I don't think so. I'll try and remember to check cause I think he wanted to sell it.

    That fender looks awesome. Thank you North Face. If a 5th gen is available I might be interested.
    Thanks again,
