Think you probably ended up with a 748/916 type as all 749/999 types are the same fitment with one hole at the front and one at the rear of fork

So how do you explain the fact that a 2003 999 has the same forks as a 2006 999 -how can the mudguards be different fitment?

Cobblers!
My '05 999 had a carbon guard from an '03 bike for a while,...fitted straight on.You are not thinking of the rear hugger are you?

Err,can of worms,anyone have a definitive answer?Wilf?

part numbers for 999s 06 564.1.042.1CA and for 999S 04 564.1.042.1AA the last 2 letters are colour code i think, only 1 carbon front guard listed in DPP catalogue for all 749/999 models 96951403BA so it looks like there is only 1 fitting type.

The definative answer is YES IT WILL fit!
Yep the shape is slightly differant but the mounting holes are exactly the same.
Trust me.
