Don't know... but I definitely know that the ones from Ducati 851/888 did fit.
I found something what IMO looks much better, but leaves most of the fork uncovered.
It is a modivied Monster part from SebyPoly.
Gotfried from hahne-power ma also have something in GFP
hope that helps, Joachim
PS we are talking about the front mudguard, didn't we?

Beg your pardon. Sometimes I forget that not everybody in the forum knows everybody
Albert from
www.Seby-Poly.de did make parts for italian bikes in glassfibre an carbon. He also owns a Saturno and a Nordie (besides some other italian ladies)
The Monster mudguard is *my* favorite. The side brakets are to small for the Nordie fork. They must be longer to reach the threads for the screws on the fork. Therefore it didn't fit like it is.
The 851/888 one did also not fit in the stock style. You will have to make an adapter to make the holes fit. Or you can get something without holes and see what you can do.
Good luck, joachim

hello,thanks for the advice.i went to the local italian bike shop and found that the 916,monster,and other models front mudguards do infact not fit due to the side brackets being to short.i will give Albert a try.The chap at the bike shop suggested a Cagiva River front fender.i will let you no.
cheers ,..paul...
