This rear fender is designed for vintage motocross (MX) motorcycle enthusiasts looking to maintain or restore the authentic look of their bikes. Its key benefit is the molded-in color that prevents a different color from showing when scratched, ensuring a lasting aesthetic. A caveat is that it's specifically designed for vintage MX applications and may require custom fitting for other uses. Key features include durable construction and a classic white finish.

This fender is designed as a universal fit for vintage motocross bikes. While it aims for broad compatibility, exact fitment can vary. Some modification or custom mounting may be required. We recommend comparing mounting dimensions and consulting with a professional if unsure.
It means the color is integrated into the plastic material itself during the manufacturing process. This prevents the underlying plastic from showing a different color if the surface gets scratched or scuffed, maintaining a more consistent appearance over time.
While the fender has a durable molded-in color, it is possible to paint it using appropriate plastic adhesion promoters and paints. However, painting may negate the benefit of the molded-in color resistance to scratches.
Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the plastic surface.
This fender is specifically designed for the aesthetic and mounting requirements of *vintage* motocross bikes. It is generally not a direct fit or recommended for modern dirt bikes, which often have different bodywork and mounting systems.
The fender is made from a durable plastic, specifically engineered to have the color molded in.
This is common with universal parts. Carefully mark new mounting hole locations on the fender, drill them cleanly, and ensure they align with your motorcycle's frame. Use appropriate hardware for secure attachment.
Ensure the fender is genuinely the UFO model with molded-in color. If the color is showing through, it may be a different product or the scratch is deeper than anticipated, exposing the core material.
The material is designed for durability. If it feels excessively flexible, double-check that it's properly supported by the mounting points. If too rigid and cracking during fitting, proceed with extreme caution during adjustments.
Setup: Installation typically involves aligning the fender with the existing mounting points on the motorcycle's frame or subframe. Due to its universal nature, some minor adjustments or drilling of new mounting holes may be necessary for a perfect fit. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the plastic.
Compatibility: This fender is designed primarily for vintage Motocross (MX) motorcycles. While it aims for universal fitment within that era, compatibility with specific models from different brands or different types of motorcycles (e.g., street bikes, modern dirt bikes) is not guaranteed and may require custom fabrication or adaptation.
Care: Clean the fender regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic or the molded-in color. For stubborn dirt, a gentle degreaser can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
