Can this work with a bike with fenders?

That's a good question. Certainly the wheel will fit in the slotted area by design. I put my front tire in the rack meaning back wheel closest to the cab of truck. Now so your front tire has a fender and you bring the hook bar forward over the back side of the front tire. Obviously it will be atop the fender. What I believe is that you could ratchet it snug, but not to bend the fender. Next, I generally bungee the bike with some nice plastic-ended bungee cords that I tie to various places in the truck bed. So, I rely on the stand to stand the bike upright and then I bungee the bike in 2-3 places to stabilize just in case (and that has come in handy / recommend it). So, as long as you bungee, should be ok. Just don't tighten the rack's arm too much atop the fender. One question back to you, how close between frame of the bike and the fender? Because the foam part of that arm is about 1.5 " in diameter. You need to be able to bring arm up over the fender is why I ask / mention. It slides between bottom of part of bike frame and over top of the fender, you see. Need a little space to bring up and over top of fender. 2 more tips. 1. Don't drop your tailgate with bike standing! If you do, want to guess what will happen? Hint, tip over! 2. I run a cable / and padlock over Thule bike rack cable to truck so someone does not simply drop my tailgate and walk off with all, bike and rack. That would be a bummer! So, there are pluses and minus to this design. I have this little system and have been quite happy, have two of these in my old Ford Ranger bed. Others at work also have same setup in their truck. Hope this helps.

You will need spools. It works on my ninja 1000 but it just isn't great for bigger bikes it's not big enough to to fit under the fender without manipulation. Works great on my ninja 300.

I would think so - depending on the curve of your fender, I wouldn't see why not. They're really good quality.

the fenders bolted to the existing axle shaft nuts. The only extra bolt required is one on top of the rear fender. It is not supplied, but any small bolt will work. Some bikes do not even require it's use. The cross supports are sufficient to hold the fender securely. After a few years, (I don't really know how many at this point), the fender are still solid and look as good as they ever have.

As far as I know Curry does not offer fenders for this bike. It would be possible to obtain aftermarket or used fenders and fit them to the Curry product. The bike is already quite heavy to begin with. I would be hesitant to add more weight. Stay out of the mud.

I don't have this set of baskets yet, but I've got them on order. The description says that the baskets mount to a rack, which is definitely not the same as a fender. And even if you can rig up some way to mount it to a fender, fenders are pretty light-weight and not meant to bear any weight. Probably collapse the fender as soon as you put any load in the baskets.

Not all bike racks are the same. I have a Transit bike rack and have about .25" clearance above the fender.

I tried to mount on Specialized Roubaix with 700x28 tires but they wouldn't fit. The fenders need a few millimeters of clearance between the tire and inside of the fork or seatstays. With 700x25 they fit fine.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't but you may have to use it without the extensions that come with it depending how low your bike sets.

I'm not sure about what fender can be used, but there is lots of room for one between the struts of the rack, and the front mounting bracket on my bike is still useable.

I think that based on most front fenders I see, it might interfere. That said, I love the rack, and if I wasn't in love with the bike fenders, I would take them off to accommodate the rack.I feel I should add to this.... The manufacturer doesn't suggest that you tie off the back of the bike...but I bungee mine for added support...

sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I recommend you e-mail Fender's customer service. They have answered several questions for me.

I bought a rack at the same time and it went right on no problems. I did have a bike with separate bolt holes on the frame for finders and a rack. Clearance was not a problem. You might have to get longer bolts if you only have one hole set for both fenders and rack. With 1/2" elevation difference in the bike mounting holes, I still have 1" between the fender and the bottom of the rack. I cannot answer about the baskets.

Fits on my cruiser, but your rear fender will be the final judge as each cruiser has a little different design...sorry dont have the brand of my bike handy either.

The fenders do come with braces, so I was able to mount mine on my tandem bike without having to alter anything. My tandem bike uses 26" tires X 2.00 without any clearance difficulties at all...plenty of room for bigger tires.

We have used it with a cruiser and commuter bike. Works fantastic with both! I would think it would work with any bike. We love ours!!!!

It should work fine with the flat fender rail. The rounded style is iffy, it depends on how thick it is from the bolt to the bottom of the rail. Make sure that the open bolt slot is facing the rear. Hope this helps.
