Are the fender plastics for the 2012-2013 TRX500 sub-models interchangeable

[shadowknight_shadowspawn1 1]

 

I have a 2012 TRX500FM A in Green plastic. I am in need of a new rear fender. I have determined from research that the 2012 TRX500FM A, TRX500FPM A, TRX500FM 2A, TRX500FPM 2A, and the 2013 TRX500FPM AC, TRX500FM AC, TRX500FPM 2AC, TRX500FM 2AC are supposed to be interchangeable between the above listed sub models, it is only color differences.. I also determined that the 2012 TRX500FE A, TRX500FPE A, TRX500FE 2A, TRX500FPE 2A, and the 2013 TRX500FE AC, TRX500FPE AC, TRX500FE 2AC, TRX500FPE 2AC are also supposed to be interchangeable in the second group of sub models listed and it's only color differences.

My question is can the rear fenders interchange between the two sub groups of models?

I did get a response from one person on another forum who suggested this forum also, who said the two sub model groups for the Foreman 500's for 2012/2013 can use the same fenders.  Before I go ordering a fender from an FE model I would love a second opinion.

 

Thanks,

That was me.  Welcome aboard.

 

Normally when I get a whim on "wonder if that will fit" I start looking at other parts on the wheeler, and then look at the shared parts.

 

So, for example, on the 2012-2013 FM/FE, they share the same frame.  That's a pretty big one.

Side covers also show fitment for both FE and FM

As does the tank cover

And the front rack

 

https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/81100-HR0-F00ZB

 

So it would stand to reason, that if the frame, side plastics, tank cover, and front rack are all interchangeable, that the fenders must be the same or all those other bits wouldn't fit together properly.

 

I figured out the different part numbers having different stickers by looking over fenders for my 05-11 Foremans.  05-14 Rubicons are the same, except for the left tank cover on the Rubicon has a cut out for the shifter.

 

A green front fender for my 2009 Foreman FM is $204

A green front fender for a 2014 Rubicon is $190

The difference?  The sticker on the front, right under the headlight

 

Even better?

 

White front fender for an 08 Rubicon  $155  https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/61150-HP0-B80ZB

White front fender for a 14 Rubicon  $98  https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/61150-HN2-K00ZA

 

Same model, same color, different years, different stickers under the headlght.  Note the different "Rubicon" designs on the fender.  That's the difference.  That's it.
