That pretty much sums it :) So does the different V7 models have difference in rear fender mounting points, shape etc ? I`m going to buy older V7 rear fender for my V7 850 mod project if it is bolt-on job. I don`t want to cut the original if something (and probably does) goes wrong.
At least short rear fender makers list their products to fit all the V7 versions (I,II,III & 850)
 
Part # is always first start, but I'll save you the time, the answer is no.
The E5 V7 has a much wider frame and fender.

Thanks, that was quick. That explains why Baak fender is so narrow in V7 850 under the seat and they say it fits all the models :D Probably it fits nicely for older models, fits to V7 850 too but is too narrow under the seat (leaves caps between frame and fender).

What is the best place to browse part numbers ?

BTW. It`s hard job to get good short rear fender for V7 850. Looks like only option is to mod/make it. Modding/cutting is difficult job because of the stock tail light.

Welcome. Tons of online parts PDFs, so many that I don't list them in the DOWNLOADS here, but I can if needed.
 
I did have the French made rear fender fitted for a while. Was a pain in the rear end sealing the gaps. I should have sent it back when I first received it but stupidly said I can fix this -- which I did, but requires constant review, even with Gorilla tape or the like. I've now junked the french fender and reverted to the Guzzi but with a different rear light as I've re--shaped the end of the fender more to my liking. Photo's to follow when finished.

Baak probably ? Same as mine. Haven`t installed it yet. I was planning to fill the caps with shaped ABS-plastic strips but it should be shaped two way which makes it difficult. Next try is with garage door seal :D We`ll see how that goes.
When I get the OEM fender off I will investigate could it be used as mold and make new one from glass fiber. The shape and structure in the OEM is very complicated but maybe it could be simplied.
