Will a newer 97-07 rear fender fit a 96 RK? Wasnt sure if it would fit with minor modifications?

 

Yes, it's a bolt on, any fender 89-12 will interchange.

 

It does? Really? I never knew that!! Thank you!

 

I don't think that is quite right. My 1990 fender is about 1/2" narrower than later spec fenders. So I reckon the later wider fender came in during the early/mid 90s, not 1989. But the answer to your question is yes!
