If you add it to your watch list he’ll usually offer a discount within 24 hours thanks for the info, but last i checked, nothing in yellow is in stock as of a few hrs ago. its not looking good at all to get all yellow plastics from here on out. i made ( she made ) the choice to just go red. i did find that ^^ very same fender on ebay, i'm not paying over oem price, he can keep it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, you have "Harvest Beige" on the 300's and 400 Foreman. It's a lighter tan than what's under the camo plastics. The camo machines, at least on the Rincons, 05-11 Foreman and 05-14 Rubicons and 07-13 420's, were a hydro dipped camo over brown fenders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
