Newbie here. Just bought 2013 f6b with 9200mi. The fender was cracked so went to honda to order part. The bike is matte white and black. Dealer says it came in red and an all black fot that year. Registration says white ? Confused? Anyone have an answer?
Dealer is correct. I believe 2016 was the first year for white.Quote:

+1 Looks like it's been painted.
Aren't all the front fenders the same for all years? Just order a white one and put it on.
2013s came in yellow too....
Under the fuel tank door is the paint code that your bike came with. Possibly that might help.
Where??..I have never seen or heard of yellow in 2013 models...Only red and black in that year as far as I know....Ride safeQuote:

Since it was orange when first registered the registration reflects the color is orange. You just need to know what White was used for the re-paint.
I believe you are correct :winnergold1:Quote:

Guess not.
Those evenings under the tent at the last few rallies are starting to get hazy......:shhh::icon_rolleyes::shhh:
It's possible that Ixol purchased his yellow F6B in late 2013 (Oct, Nov or Dec) when the 2014's were introduced to the market. :shrug: just a guess.Quote:

As far as I know all 2013 F6B and GL1800 use the same front fenders. You could buy in 2013 a GL1800 in a Light Silver Metallic, Gray Metallic, Ultra Blue Metallic, Candy Red and the F6B in Black and last but not lest Red.
Then since all F6B and GL1800 2013 till 2017 run the same front fender there are many more colors to chose from like White, Yellow, matte colors, shinny colors and so on. I'd find the matching color fender.... to heck with the year and put it on. Now if it is an off color from a custom paint job then a repaint may be in order.
More than likely the case.....Smokey Mountain fog wasn't limited to the mountain tops.Quote:

As mentioned previously by BIGLRY, the part is probably identical for each year except for the color. I’d purchase a white fender for the 2016 (?) and bolt that puppy on. If the color matches then your golden. If not, then a repaint is in order and you haven’t lost anything.
Ride safe.

Bought it the first week of Oct 13. Few weeks later the 14s were released. YELLOW and black. I was bummed. Loved that YELLOW. Fast forward 2 1/2 years and a totaled black 13. Yup, a 14 YELLOW found Its new home.
Thank for the replies. I ordered 2016 matte pearl white and hope it matches. I plan to repaint after it's paid for anyway.
Are you sure it's a 2013 ??? To tell ... there is a VIN sticker on the left frame rail near the steering head. In big print it tells the year.Quote:
