Need to replace a damaged front fender on your Yamaha sportbike, or just want a fresh one? This GYMARK front fender is made to fit specific models. Please double-check fitment: it's designed for the Yamaha YZF-R6 from 2006 all the way through 2020 model years, and for the Yamaha YZF-R1 from 2009 to 2018. It's made from black ABS plastic, which is durable, lightweight, and commonly used for motorcycle bodywork. It's not carbon fiber. This fender mounts over your front wheel and is crucial for keeping water, mud, and road debris from spraying up onto you and your bike's engine and radiator. Installation should be direct – it uses the existing mounting points on your forks, so no modification should be needed. However, for a perfect fit and finish, professional installation is always recommended when dealing with body panels. If your stock fender is cracked or you're doing a custom build, this is an affordable replacement option.
