Subject:      Fender Flares for Syncro 16  - Anyone got Part numbers?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

I was wondering if syncro 16 fender flares fit non-syncros

(assuming you trim the rear wheel opening as David described) or does the fuel filler get in the way? It LOOKS like it

would be ok at:

ANYONE HAVE THE PART NUMBER FOR THESE?

Thanks, Chris
